How many offshore wind energy resources are there in Fujian?

There are about 120 GW of offshore wind power resources within the depth of 50 m . The narrow-tube effect in Taiwan Strait increases the annual wind energy density and provides abundant deep-sea wind energy resources for Fujian province. By the end of 2020, Fujian possessed a total of 760 MW of offshore wind power generation.

Can offshore wind power generation drive energy transition in China?

Offshore wind power generation has gained continuous attention and has been developed rapidly in China, because of its huge potential to drive the energy transition process. This paper investigates the domestic progress of offshore wind in the past decade and discusses the future development trend.

How Chinese offshore wind power system is developing?

Research and development about large scale of offshore wind turbine generator system are rapidly advancing. The developing trends of Chinese offshore wind power are large-scale turbines, deep-water construction and intelligent management. New technologies for offshore wind power generation are to be further studied.

What is Fuqing Xinghua Bay offshore wind farm?

The case study object of this paper, Fuqing Xinghua Bay Offshore Wind Farm (phase Ⅰ), is the first international high-power offshore wind power test wind farm in China, and the project phase Ⅱ is also expanding in this area. The results of this study case can provide demonstration experience for other high-power offshore wind farm projects.

Could offshore wind farms help China transition from fossil fuels?

Deployment of offshore wind farms in China by mid-century could not only provide the largest market for the global wind industry in the upcoming decade, but it could offer also an important building block for China to transition away from fossil fuel-based energy systems, providing renewable power and generating green hydrogen.

Does China have offshore wind power?

Although China’s offshore wind power started late, its development momentum is very strong in recent five years. In June 2010, China’s first offshore wind farm, the Phase I (100 MW) of Shanghai East Bridge offshore wind power demonstration project, realized grid-connected power generation.
