This paper researched the key technology of remote intelligent condition monitoring and diagnostic system for wind turbines, and described the development details of a system. The system, adopted the distributed architecture, consisted of four subsystems, which were the data acquisition subsystem, the real time data storage subsystem, the intelligent monitoring and diagnosis subsystem and the user interface subsystem. The intelligent monitoring and diagnosis subsystem used the knowledge base/inference engine structure. An advanced fuzzy expert system is developed for inference engine, and the vibration fault diagnosis rules for wind turbine is stored in the knowledge base. The effectiveness of the system is verified by diagnosing simulated wind turbine faults.
By the end of 2013,the new capacity of wind power is 16.1 GW,and the total installed capacity is 91.42 GW,to maintain global leadership,but a lot of wind turbines are not integrated into grid at present which is the outstanding problem. Non-grid-connected wind power system means that the terminal load is no longer a single traditional grid,but can be directly applied to a series of high energy-consuming industries and other special areas which adapt to the characteristics of wind power. Based on many preliminary investigations,the demonstration project of wind power water electrolysis hydrogen production system (120 Nm3/d) was built using a 30 kW wind turbine and a 10 kW wind turbine in Dafeng City,Jiangsu Province. The power supply system for hydrogen production is based on non-grid-connected wind power mode. Wind power is connected to the power grid but not integrated into power grid,and seamlessly complement wind power with grid power,which gets to 100 % utilization of wind power. The results reveal the coupling laws between large-scale non-grid-connected wind power and water electrolysis process.

Global carbon dioxide emissions pressure gives a good development opportunity for hydrogen energy, and it also accelerates the development of hydrogen energy technology. The water decomposition is the main direction of hydrogen production technology, but it needs huge electricity energy consumption.

In this paper,taking an annual output of 1×109 m3 coal to substitute natural gas(SNG) as an example,Shell coal gasification technology was used to produce synthesis gas. The equipment investment of air separation system(ASU),water gas shift system(WGS),wind power plant(WP) and electrolyzed water system(EWS) was compared between traditional coal-to-SNG and wind/coal SNG. The oxygen consumption,water steam consumption,electricity consumption and CO2 emission were also analyzed. Results show that although the investment of WP and EWS replacing the ASU and WGS is huge, its average annual operating cost(equipment investment,raw materials,power consumption) is lower,and CO2 emission is only 1.3 % of the traditional coal-to-SNG technology. This paper provides a reference for the development of coal-to-SNG industry.
It is predicted that the population of China will be growing to 1.45 billion, the urbanization rate will be 70 % by 2030, the total urban population will be exploded to 1 billion comparing with 0.7 billion urban population of 2013. As the continuously growing of population of China and urban population, China will face severe food crisis, especially the protein shortage problem in future. This paper presents a new theoretical model that by combining non-grid-connected wind power and coal to gas with bioengineering to produce single cell protein to contribute to resolving the food crisis. By combining non-grid-connected wind power and coal to gas with bioengineering to produce single cell protein can not only use the coal resource more efficiently, environmental friendly, but also produce nutrient rich protein for forage and human food.
