[Photo/Xinhua] LHASA -- China has achieved another breakthrough in wind power development at ultra-high altitudes, with the world's highest wind power project in Xizang autonomous region generating over 22 million kWh of electricity as of Tuesday.
China's installed wind power generation capacity has consistently ranked first in the world for an impressive 15-year streak, according to the latest data released by the China Electricity Council on Sunday.
The world's largest ultra-high-altitude wind power generation project, built at an altitude of 4,650 meters, started operation in Nagqu Town, Seni District of Nagqu City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on Monday, the first day of 2024.
"In the early stage of our design, we adopted a smart wind power platform to conduct accurate assessment of wind measurement, site selection and wind resources, developing an integrated design of the wind farm," Hu Jiansheng, head of the 100MW wind power project, told China Media Group (CMG).

Wind power generation data are in the wind_farms folder, which includes six Microsoft Excel files. The real-time power generation and weather conditions are recorded in these files.
"The stable operation of this wind power project at an ultra-high altitude is expected to provide a reference for wind power generation in high-altitude areas globally," Shi said.
