China＇s wind power has been experiencing rapid growth since the enactment of Renewable Energy Law in 2006, but there are also some problems with respect to the coordinated development of wind power and power grids. By learning experience from United States, Germany, Spain and Denmark, some suggestions are systematically put forward for the improvement of wind power related policies and regulations. By taking a neutral position and taking into account interests of all stakeholders, this article has proposed overall, comprehensive and system-wide political and regulatory solutions to the current problems in wind power development. Firstly, unified planning should be implemented. Secondly, administrative procedures and approval process for grid projects should be streamlined and simplified. Thirdly, Mechanism for ancillary service should be set up to motivate conventional units to operate in a more flexible way. Fourthly, peak/valley or even negative feed-in tariff should be introduced stepwise. Fifthly, pilot projects of heating with wind power should be accelerated.展开更多
