This year in April, offshore wind power concession projects start, the National Energy Board to Liaoning, Shanghai, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, 11 departments issued a circular calling for offshore wind power to declare parts of the concession tender, in accordance with the “first trial , after the expansion of “the principle of construction, according to wind energy resources, the marine environment, power and technical capabilities to send to determine overall size of the project.
Offshore wind power construction began striding speed overweight.
And Shanghai is one typical case, in July, China’s first offshore wind pilot project large – Shanghai East Sea Bridge and the 100 MW offshore wind farm grid of 34 wind turbines moving, very spectacular; At the same time, Shanghai Electric developed the first national sea fan off the assembly line of 3.6 MW, the wind wheel diameter of 116 m; as representatives of private enterprises in Shanghai million German wind power company, its two-megawatt permanent magnet direct drive blower Not long ago, also offshore wind farm in Fengxian grid. All these show that the Shanghai building offshore wind and marine equipment wind generator manufacturing is entering a fan of rapid development.
“In fact, China has rich wind power resources, these resources are hidden in the long coastline of gold. Also, offshore wind power not very occupied area, and near the load center, unlike land-based wind power with long-distance transport of trouble. “investment consultant in the energy sector, Qian Jiang, chief researcher told reporters.
The real world, though in recent years China has made rapid land-based wind power development capacity was double the growth for four consecutive years, but the development of offshore wind has just started. China 2009 new offshore wind power installed capacity of only 63,000 kilowatts, while offshore wind power over the same period of the fastest growing of the United Kingdom to achieve additional capacity 306,000 kilowatts, the cumulative installed capacity of 894,000 kilowatts.
The current national primary approach is through a competitive mechanism to promote offshore wind power turbines development. Just last month, the National Energy Board launched the first offshore wind power generator project concession tendering. Already basically decided to select two in Jiangsu coastal and two offshore wind power project wind power project beach, which a single item scale offshore wind power development of 300,000 kilowatts, beach development of 200 thousand kilowatts of wind power, Energy Bureau to prepare this 1 million kW four projects at the same time for bidding.
“Land-based wind power competition is fierce, but compared to the threshold of offshore wind power will be higher electricity price will be higher, and can withstand high equipment costs, so many land-based wind power equipment manufacturers are on the field ‘eyeing’ it is not hard to understand.
