1. In 2022, Shandong Province plans to plan 35GW of offshore wind power! Over 5GW of construction started and 2GW connected to the grid!

On March 7, the Shandong Provincial Energy Bureau issued the guidance for the province's energy work in 2022, which proposed to build an offshore wind power base: organize the implementation of Shandong's offshore wind power development plan, with a planned total scale of 35 million kilowatts. The development of the sea area sites in the central and southern provinces of Bohai and the peninsula will be fully launched, with a construction scale of more than 5 million kilowatts and about 2 million kilowatts connected to the grid. Comprehensively deepen the preliminary work of the state-managed sea area project, and strive for 7.6 million kilowatts of sites to be included in the national deep-sea offshore wind power plan. Adhere to the "integration of two uses", and promote the military-civilian integrated development of offshore wind power.

2. The development of the world's largest wind turbine with a diameter of 16MW offshore wind turbines is progressing steadily

On March 4, the kick-off meeting of the "16MW Offshore Wind Turbine Key Technology Research and Equipment Development" project was successfully held in China Haizhuang. Many members from the China Shipbuilding Group's wind power industry chain participated in the kick-off meeting.

China Haizhuang's 16MW offshore wind turbine is equipped with the world's longest 126-meter blade. The unit adopts the latest fully integrated medium-speed permanent magnet solution. At the same time, the best performance of the unit is achieved through stability control and load optimization, as well as the integration of the whole machine, tower and foundation. . It is worth mentioning that the system design, process technology, manufacturing integration, and test plan of the 16MW-class offshore wind turbine are all independently completed by Haizhuang, which can be independently controllable.

At present, 10MW offshore wind power units at home and abroad are in the stage of batch application. In terms of larger-capacity offshore wind turbines, domestic and foreign OEMs have deployed one after another, trying to seize the commanding heights of the market and technology. Since the 5MW offshore wind turbine, China Haizhuang has been leading the development of the long-blade offshore wind turbine. The development of the 16MW-class complete unit launched this time is expected to reach the international leading level.

3. CGN Shanwei Jiazi-1 500,000-kilowatt offshore wind power project completed the foundation construction of the offshore booster station

On March 5, the foundation of the offshore booster station of the 500,000-kilowatt offshore wind power project in Shanwei Jiazi of China General Nuclear Power was successfully completed, preparing for the installation of the upper block of the offshore booster station, the "heart" of the offshore wind farm. A solid foundation for the electrification target of an affordable offshore wind power project.

Shanwei Jiaziyi Offshore Wind Power Project is located in the sea area on the south side of Hudong Town, Shanwei City, Guangdong Province. The closest distance to the land is about 25km, the water depth is 30-35m, and the planned installed capacity is 500,000 kilowatts. It is planned to install 78 6.45MW wind turbines, with one set to be built. 220kV offshore booster station, and supporting construction of the onshore booster station (centralized control center) shared by CGN Houhu, Jiazi 1 and Jiazi 2 projects.

The foundation of the offshore booster station of the project is in the form of a four-pile jacket with a total height of 50.8 meters and a weight of 1,750 tons. Ancillary components such as anti-collision fenders and cable protection pipes are installed. For the first time in the Shanwei sea area, this project adopts the anti-corrosion scheme of active current cathodic protection, which can more effectively ensure the reliable operation of the infrastructure compared with the traditional scheme.
