The largest wind power equipment manufacturing enterprises, one sinovel windtec Co., LTD in the director told xinhua, China in wind field technical level have the ability of independent development of offshore wind.
By 2010, Shanghai July 10 million kilowatts of donghai bridge offshore wind all 34 units, the formal operation, and began to provide clean energy for the expo. This project is beyond the first global European maritime power grid program, China's first national maritime wind demonstration projects, adopt independent research and development of the three wind-power sinovel megawatts of sea wind generator.
Sinovel wind TaoGang vice President, said of donghai bridge project since July this year, generating grid operation condition, the project owners. Wind power from Europe and experts in the evaluation of donghai bridge, also said China after the project now have independent development of offshore wind.
According to understand, compared with the land and sea wind, because the wind generator installation intertidal zone in the sea or intertidal zone, its environment conditions and different land, sea wind turbines.finally complex technical than land, sea wind generator in design and manufacturing process, must consider offshore wind resources characteristics, current, waves and tidal and seabed conditions, such as the combination of factors, sea wind turbines.finally technology represents the highest level of current technology.
By technical level of global maritime power grid programs long mainly concentrated in Europe. With the independent research and development level of technological breakthrough, fan of Chinese wind project also started from land to sea.
TaoGang says, a lot of construction project with the wind in the Midwest China's eastern coastal cities, developed economy, electricity, water power, coal resources. Meanwhile, the eastern coastal areas, especially in jiangsu, Shanghai, the coastline, water depth, suitable for the development of large area power grid, and the eastern region XiaoNa grid infrastructure, and a strong ability to develop, especially suitable for offshore wind.
From the current development situation, after years of growth, BaoFaShi steps of developing wind power in China has begun to have abundant resources of the sea. Preliminary estimates, China in 5-25 meters sea area, water line above sea level 50 meters in height can be installed capacity of about 200 million kilowatts. According to the analysis of the status of development of renewable energy, by 2020, China's maritime wind loading capacity is expected to exceed 10 million kilowatts.
Land wind generating cost advantage lies in the sea wind, current China than land wind resources than the sea. Some industry experts think, at present, the domestic onshore and offshore wind turbines.finally according to different market development needs, both equally. As technology promotion, sea or land, wind energy resources will get more fully utilized.
