Power produced through wind power technology is an important form of renewable energy, and also the focus of China's current efforts to strengthen the global competitiveness of its strategic emerging industries. Technology development in wind power equipment would insure the industry's bloom for a long time and a high application ratio of wind power. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the wind turbine technology at both domestic and international levels is conducted to learn about the history and current state of the wind turbine technology, and problems faced by domestic and international markets. Furthermore, some suggestions and prospects are also presented for the healthy development of the wind turbine technology, in fields of structure efficiency promotion, production cost reduction, environment protection, and resource conservation.
