3. The first integration project of "Offshore Wind Power + Offshore Ranch" in Fujian Province is launched!

A few days ago, in the Pingtan Dalian offshore wind farm, a metal cage containing 1,500 fry was successfully lowered to 28 meters below the sea of the No. 11 wind turbine for a good harvest in the coming year. This means that the Pingtan Deep Sea Breeding and Offshore Wind Power Integrated Development Pilot Project has been officially launched, which is also the province’s first “Offshore Wind Power + Offshore Ranch” integration project.

The project was initiated by China Guangdong Nuclear Power New Energy Fujian Branch, with the participation of Fujian Fisheries Research Institute and Suping Area Farmers Co., Ltd. of Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone. It will promote the integrated development of offshore wind power, marine aquaculture, and marine tourism, and maximize the use of the ocean. Resources, to achieve a "double harvest" of ecological and economic benefits, it is estimated that the annual income of the project in terms of breeding can reach 250,000 to 400,000 yuan.

In addition, the project makes full use of Pingtan’s abundant offshore wind power resources to carry out technical research on the impact of environmental factors such as electromagnetic radiation and noise in offshore wind farms on fish growth, forming an overall technical plan for fish farming in a specific environment, in order to promote offshore The integration of wind power and deep sea aquaculture provides new ways and models.

7. Heavy! A six-degree-of-freedom wave compensation gangway was introduced for the first domestic wind power operation and maintenance mother ship

Guangdong Safety New Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guang'an"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangdong Yuean Shipping, has signed an agreement with Ampelmann, a global motion compensation gangway supplier, to supply wave compensation gangways in China’s offshore wind power market. A contract.

Ampelmann will provide Guangan with its flagship product-the classic six-degree-of-freedom wave compensation gangway. The first gangway will arrive in Guangdong at the end of October 2021 and will be installed on the "Guangan Operation and Maintenance 88" ship owned by Guang’an. This is the first time that a six-dimensional wave compensation gangway has been applied to domestic operation and maintenance ships.

11. 3D printing offshore wind turbine parts? Technology reduces costs and adds "new tricks"

GE, Fraunhofer IGCV and voxeljet AG have established a research partnership to develop the world's largest 3D printer applicable to offshore wind power to simplify the production of key components for GE Haliade-X offshore wind turbines.

The project is expected to start in the third quarter of 2021, and initial printer trials will begin in the first quarter of 2022.

The project involves the development of a new large-format Advance Casting Cell (ACC) 3D printer that can produce sand molds for casting highly complex metal parts of different shapes and sizes that make up the nacelle of offshore wind turbines.

The modular 3D printing process is based on voxeljet's core "Binder-Jetting" technology, which can be configured to print molds for castings with a diameter of 9.5 meters and a weight of more than 60 tons, thereby shortening the production time. This mode and molds can be from ten weeks or more The time is only two weeks.
