But where's the market for frequency inverter?

I think different demands exists in different areas. The requirements for frequency inverter in Japan may be different from that in India. The requirements for frequency inverters in USA are different from Mexico. So different qualities meet the demands of different countries because of the cost.

China consumes 10% of the world's total energy (power). 70 per cent of its primary energy consumption was coal. This is 40% higher than the world average.

The SO2 pollution caused by coal burning accounted for 70% to 80% of the total emission amount. Furthermore, the acid rain triggered by SO2 covers 1/3 of the entire area of China.

The quality of the environment in China is continuously deteriorating. By the end of 2020 the environmental and health losses of China caused by air pollution will reach 13% of the total GDP value. Therefore, the development of clean energy (green energy, alternative energy) has become the inevitable choice of China’s energy strategy. In fact the Chinese government has annouced a lot of policies about clean energy (green energy, alternative energy, renewable energy) and will plan to stimulate the development of clean energy. These include laws about green energy, subsidies for clean energy. For example, China Solar Subsidies -- “Golden Sun” subsidies , Carrot for solar power development offered by China government .

Wind power (wind energy), compared with conventional energy, is sustainable and is a form of clean energy (green power). Generating power from the wind does not require the burning of fossil fuels; hence, there is no risk of a fuel price rise.

Additionally, there are no environmental costs, such as carbon emissions.

As investors, you're obviously at least aware of the now ubiquitous solar market. But simply being aware of it is no longer enough. Do you know? For solar power, this industry-predicted to grow is as much as 35% annually for the next few years. I think you will be interested in really making money in this solar energy market.

There is good news. Solar electricity generating capacity has on average doubled every two years since 1998.

Below is the chart for solar power (solar energy) worldwide these years.

In our last article about wind power market in the US, the US wind energy market will see a surge in 2010. And some researches show that China could at least double its current wind energy (wind power) target for 2020.

A few years ago, Energy Bureau Director of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Xu Dingming said: “The development of renewable energy plays a crucial strategic role in the power supply of China. Wind energy growth in China is now on a fast track and globally we believe that wind power will become the primary alternative energy in the future.”

According to one report, China’s current wind energy (wind power) plan is to reach 20 Gigawatts (GW) by 2020. And we know that Germany, the world wind energy leader today, has just under 17GW. But the experts within the Chinese wind energy industry believe that 40 Gigawatts (GW) can be delivered in 2020; rising to ten times this by 2050. This scale of wind power would need 20,000 typical modern wind turbines by 2020. The investment generated could be worth USD 40 billion; putting China on track to become the world’s biggest wind energy market by 2020.

Let's put our eyes on China's total wind energy resources.

The capacity of wind potential in viable windy locations in China is large enough.
 

the premium efficiency induction motor market will triple in size by 2011.

According to IMS, there are two significant factors, which are affecting the worldwide AC induction motor market over the next five years.

The first factor is the rapid slowing of growth in the worldwide economy, with the worldwide market forecast to contract more than seven per cent in 2009. But this decline is offset in part by positive growth in China. The EMEA and the US are seeing much slower growth.

The second factor is the government-led movement towards higher efficiency motors. Governments have introduced legislation or encouraged voluntary industry agreements, which will shift the market away from EPAct and EFF2 motors to higher efficiency motors.

With the rapid development of the solar power industry, China has become the world largest consumer of solar energy.

Statistics show that China currently tops the world in production and retention of solar energy. And it is also the largest producer of solar water heaters and a major consumer. China is turning into the world largest market for solar energy.

The worldwide market for Low Power AC Drives is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% from 2008 to 2012. This is forecasted by ARC Advisory Group. The market for low power ac drives worldwide was over $7 billion in 2007. The study of ARC Advisory Group expects that the market for low power ac drives worldwide will be nearly $11 billion in 2012.

...

The market for low power AC drives in India exceeded $150 million in 2006. According to a ARC Advisory Group study, the market for low power ac drive in India will grow at a compount annual growth of 15.4% from 2007 to 2011 because of the country's growing manufacturing sector. You can refer to the study here: the article in our Automation and Control Forum. And experts believe that suppliers of low power ac drives are benefiting from the increasing level of automation in manufacturing, leading to a greater use of low-power AC drives in industries such as automotive, mining & metals, printing and publishing, and textiles, for applications such as conveying and material handling, fans, pumps, and compressors.

  In 2007, the scale of China's FC market reached RMB11.6bn, up by 17.8% year-on-year, while the sales amount of LV FCs was RMB1.12bn, up by 25.8%, and HV ones RMB2.16bn, 34.2%. And in 2008,

As for products, LV and MV AC Drives would continue to increase stably, while High Voltage (HV) frequency inverters have greatest potential. Now China's HV FC market has moved to the fast-growth track, and is expected to expand by 35%-40% annually in the next 3 years. The competition, however, is going to be fiercer due to increasing number of incomers.
