Abstract :
Rapid economic growth in China requires large amount of electricity supply. When centralized generation (CG) can not provide sufficient electricity supply, distributed generation (DG) draws people´s attention. In this paper, the development status and applicability of DGs in China is discussed in detail, and three typical DG utilizations are introduced. Finally, the development of wind generation in China is also examined.
