Abstract: The wind power operation and consumption situation was stable overall in 2013 in China while wind power consumption problem is becoming increasingly severe in recent years in Northeast China. Some crucial indices used in evaluating the current situations of wind power operation in Northeast China, including proportions of the wind power capacity and the local accommodation, wind power growth rate and the system load, wind power capacity and the flexible power capacity are put forward. The direct and fundamental reasons for wind power curtailment are analyzed based on the evaluation on the status quo of wind power operation in Northeast China. The results indicate that the unbalance between large-scale wind power development and local accommodation capability is the direct reason and disunified wind power planning and imperfect incentive policies are the fundamental reasons. Speeding up the constructions of inter-regional transmission lines to deliver the wind power to the load center is the effective way to promote the wind power utilization in Northeast China.

Key words: wind power consumption, wind power integration, load, wind abandoning
