China MV converter market in 2008
The market scale of china MV converter reached RMB23 billion in 2007, MV converters were sold 2500, increased 51.5%, more than 2006, showed that it had being on a fast growing market.
In China market, MV converter is often used in industry of electrical power, metallurgy, petrochemical, town planning, cement, mine pharmacy, papermaking, etc. And it is been used in some new industry, for example, ship propelling, wind power generation, wind tunnel test, ocean platform and so on.
MV converter accounts for 29.1% in the industry of electric power.
The main brands of MV are nearly 12 enterprises, such as Siemens, Ld-harvest, TOSHIBA, Mitsubishi, ABB, DFSTW and Hitachi etc. And 21.7% market share is occupied by Siemens.
MV is composed of general-purpose MV converter and traction-type MV converter. General-purpose MV converter is used for wind machine, pumps drive control in the industry of metallurgy, electrical power, coal, mine. Regarding General-purpose MV converter, domestic brand has replaced the brands of foreign country.
Traction-type MV converter is used for mine hoist traction variable frequency, rolling mill variable frequency drive, ship drive, paper machine drive, High-speed locomotive drive and so on. The market is occupied by overseas brands at present.
Overseas well-known brands and domestic brands have the same market share. Domestic manufacturers play an important role in saving energy application of small and medium-sized power wind machine and pump, and make a breakthrough in application of high-power, get over 70% market share in the industry of electronic power, cement, etc. And the trend is increasing. Overseas brands such as Siemens, TOSHIBA, Mitsubishi, ABB, AB always occupy absolute advantage in special MV converter application in metallurgy, ship, ocean platform, wind power, mining hoisting machine, etc.
And foreign manufacturers occupy the monopoly in over 8000KW ultra-high-power converter market, such as south-north water diversion project, west-east gas transmission project.
Newly increased market of MV converter power section distribution in china 2007 (according to the number of converter) is as follows:
Up to the end of 2007 in China, the capacity of power generation reached 713 million KW. The total capacity of electric motor was about 580 million KW, accounting for 60%~70% of total power consumption. And AC motor made up around 90%, but rather less than 20 million KW motor was variable frequency control motor, the market share of variable frequency control motor was less than 4%. According to Research on approach and countermeasure of motor speed governing technology industrialization, electric motors consume 66% of power generation, MV motor make up around 50%, about drag load of 70% MV are fan, pump, compressor, a half adapted to speed governing, it means that around 10.15 million KW MV motor suit MV variable frequency speed governing. According to RMB800.00/KW, MV converter change market potential is estimated about RMB81.2 billion.
The market potential of MV converter for different application industry:
