“It’s an insult to the people who built this company and the shareholders who believe in its future,” said Ciachurski, whose Western Wind Energy (TSXV: WND) was the target of a takeover by Ontario-based Algonquin Power and Utilities Corp recently.

The unsolicited Algonquin bid of $2.50 in cash or cash and shares was nearly double the previous market price for the wind turbine generator Vancouver-based company but only half of what independent consultants have estimated Western Wind’s value to be.

“It was a lowball offer and we advised our shareholders to ignore it . . . we said thanks but no thanks,” said Ciachurski, who is now reigning in large shareholders of his company with lucrative propositions so they won’t fall prey to private offers for their stake in Western Wind.

As the war of news releases on who pulled the plug on the deal goes on between Algonquin Power and Western Wind Energy, one thing is clear – it won’t be the last time mega-renewable energy wind turbines manufacturers companies are going to be knocking on Ciachurski’s door.

Unlike many wind-energy companies in Canada that are in a tailspin, Western Wind is riding the proverbial winds of change all the way to the bank. Western Wind has two wind turbines farms with a total capacity of 34.5 megawatts operating in California, a 10.5-megawatt wind and solar project in Arizona and is developing a project in Puerto Rico.

Later this month, i t will bring online its 120-megawatt Windstar Wind Farm in Tehachapi, Calif. That deal, which will be able to power 36,000 homes, has been sweetened with Western Wind windmill generator securing a U.S. government cash grant totalling $108 million US.

All of this translates to a homegrown company with humble beginnings boasting $340 million of wind assets and a revenue stream in 2012 of $51 million.

for a core wind turbine manufacture module from German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies, under an agreement they signed on Tuesday .

The module is used in the production of 1.5 MW and 2.5 MW wind generator converters, said Wu Gang, board chairman of Goldwind Science an d Technology.

Converters account for 15 percent of the cost of making wind tur bine generators. The module licensed by Infineon makes up 50 percent o f the cost of small wind turbines manufacture converters, he added.

Infineon has also agreed to provide services related to the use of the module, plus components for the production of insulated gate bi polar transistors

Here is the Asia’s largest wind farm – Huitengxile wind farm.

Located in the Inner Mongolian Plateau, is also a vent, its name in Chinese means “cold ridge.” Can be seen here, rich in wind resources.

In 1996, construction of wind power generator farms here. According to the plan, where to build a million-kilowatt wind power base. At present, there have been Huaneng, Datang, Huadian, north Beijing to the China Guangdong Nuclear and other seven major state-owned enterprises stationed, with a total installed capacity of more than 100 million kilowatts.

“If all the running, the electricity generated each year in 300 million degrees.” Huitengxile North United Power wind farm, said head of the farm Zhi.

Li Zhi in the wind farm has been done for 14 years, he was responsible for management, including 12 kinds of models with 132 wind turbines and two substations. “First Financial Daily” reporters, when the aerial of the mobile phone is always ringing off the hook, and he commanded the men each time, what materials to use to repair parts which can be more than save some money down.

“No Do not do that. Once the limit of electricity has been cut away the net profit ah.” He said that because of limited power, this family tradition electric field on the loss of nearly 400 million profit.

“A few years ago has been good, limited power is not obvious.” Zhi told reporters, before 2008, Huitengxile wind power companies only 5 family tradition, the scale is also not very high. But two years ago and last year, wind power scale soaring. Today, seven companies are scaling up, “the speed of wind power generator expansion has far exceeded the speed of power grids.” He said.

Outstanding issues every year. Each year in October to the second year in April, a full six months, Zhi hearts are tugging. He said: “The fear is that the dispatch room the night before the power company sent a text message. Text messages telling me how much power the next day to allow delivery. This year, limit such messages more and more power. Restrictions on electricity up to the small wind turbines time is a kilowatt not let you send. ”

This family tradition Zhi management field and other different. 132 wind turbines, some use of a longer time, are already aging and damage. “In winter, in temperatures of minus 40 degrees, the stop loss is very great.” Zhi told reporters, “If the limit of power 5 hours, the old machine stopped, and then spend 78 hours may have not start up.”

Family tradition in this field reporter dispatch room of the table to see a piece of paper that said more than a dozen stations have been number of wind turbines can not stop. “Can not stop, and basically that old machine.” Dispatchers said.

Huadian Huitengxile Wind Farm Safety Minister Liang Zhenfei too bad the same day. He told reporters that the task based power generation target assigned every year, and even that the average utilization of wind turbines can not be less than 97%.

This allows Liang Zhenfei very difficult, after all, is not how much power he made the decision – the decision to God how much wind, how much electricity the power company decided to send, and he can do is to safeguard the 120 “big windmill.”
