Surging news learned that on December 25, China’s first megawatt offshore wind farm – the Three Gorges Yangjiang Shaba offshore wind power project realized full capacity grid connected power generation. The project is located in the South Sea area of Shaba Town, Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province. It is invested and constructed by China Three Gorges Renewables (Group) Co.Ltd(600905) (hereinafter referred to as China Three Gorges Renewables (Group) Co.Ltd(600905) ) affiliated to the Three Gorges group, with a total installed capacity of 1.7 million KW. A total of 269 offshore wind turbines and 3 offshore booster stations are arranged. Yangjiang project can provide about 4.7 billion kwh of clean electric energy for Dawan District of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao every year, and can meet the annual power consumption of about 2 million households.
Yangjiang Shaba project has not only installed and used the world’s first typhoon resistant floating offshore wind turbine, but also created many “best in China”, such as China’s largest single offshore booster station and China’s lightest offshore booster station with the same capacity. “In the construction process of Yangjiang Shaba offshore wind power project, we adhered to the concept of innovative development, completed a series of major technological breakthroughs, and effectively promoted the improvement and innovation of China’s offshore wind power construction technology, especially the operation of floating offshore wind turbines, marking an important breakthrough in China’s offshore wind power technology.” Li chuangjun, director of the new and renewable energy department of the national energy administration, said.
“The Three Gorges group is the largest offshore wind power development and operation enterprise in China by unswervingly implementing the offshore wind power leader strategy and promoting centralized and continuous large-scale offshore wind power development.” Lei Mingshan, party secretary and chairman of the Three Gorges group, said that the comprehensive and successful grid connection of the Three Gorges Yangjiang Shaba offshore wind power project has effectively promoted the technological innovation of offshore wind power survey and design, major equipment manufacturing and construction, driven the coordinated development of the whole offshore wind power industry chain in China, and accumulated valuable experience for the subsequent centralized and large-scale development of far-reaching offshore wind power projects, It has laid a good foundation for the realization of parity Internet access of offshore wind power in the future.
On the same day, Jiangsu, such as Donghai Shangfeng wind power project and Jiangsu Dafeng offshore wind power project invested and constructed by China Three Gorges Renewables (Group) Co.Ltd(600905) , also achieved the goal of full capacity grid connected power generation, marking the further progress of China’s offshore wind power development to deep and open seas. Among them, Jiangsu Rudong project is the first offshore wind power project in Asia to adopt flexible direct transmission technology. As the farthest offshore wind power project in China, Dafeng project has set a record of AC submarine cable application with the longest distance and the largest diameter in China. According to China Three Gorges Renewables (Group) Co.Ltd(600905) party secretary and Chairman Wang wubin, offshore wind power has high requirements for industrial chain synergy. The Three Gorges group, together with all participating units, formed a project team to overcome the construction difficulties such as bad offshore weather and complex seabed conditions, actively promote the application of new equipment and technologies, and break through a series of barriers restricting the development of offshore wind power to deep and open seas.
China has the natural advantage of developing offshore wind power, with an available sea area of more than 3 million square kilometers. The layout of wind farms is developing from offshore to Deep-water and far shore. According to the latest statistics of the national energy administration, by 2021, the installed scale of offshore wind power in China has leapt to the first in the world.
At the national energy work conference in 2022, Zhang Jianhua, Secretary of the Party group and director of the national energy administration, said that one of the key tasks of energy work next year is to accelerate the green and low-carbon development of energy, accelerate the implementation of renewable energy substitution actions, and promote the development and consumption of wind power photovoltaic in the East, central and southern regions, We will actively promote the cluster development of offshore wind power and the development of wind power photovoltaic bases in the “Three North” region, and pay close attention to the construction of wind power photovoltaic bases in deserts, Gobi and deserts.
So far, major coastal provinces such as Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong have issued offshore wind power development plans.
