On August 18, 2022, Goldwind Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. held a groundbreaking ceremony for its 1,600-ton wind power installation platform in Nantong, Jiangsu.

Goldwind Offshore Wind Power Installation Platform Project

According to reports, the Goldwind offshore wind power installation platform project adopts the integrated mode of transportation + storage + hoisting, and the comprehensive performance of the crane ranks in the forefront of the industry. It can scientifically optimize the construction methods of offshore wind power projects of different basic types in the deep sea and greatly improve the hoisting efficiency of wind turbine components. Reducing engineering construction costs will further accelerate the cost reduction, efficiency increase and affordable development of offshore wind power. Under the guidance of the country's "Dual-Carbon Goals", the project will become the country's most important tool for exploring deep-sea wind power resources and strengthening the construction capacity of offshore wind power projects in the face of the future trend of far-reaching offshore wind power and large-scale units.

The maximum lifting height of the main hook of the installation platform is 165 meters, the maximum lifting weight is 1600 tons, the maximum lifting height of the main hook and the auxiliary hook is 183 meters, the maximum lifting weight is 500 tons, and the construction capacity is 70 meters deep. It can meet the installation requirements of most of the domestic fixed support structures above 20MW offshore wind turbines and wind turbines with an impeller diameter of less than 320 meters.

Ling Yi, deputy mayor of Nantong, pointed out that shipbuilding is one of the five key industrial clusters in Nantong, and it is also a beautiful city card of Nantong. Nantong has 322 enterprises above designated size, with the R&D, design and manufacturing capabilities of various mainstream ships, and has built an advantageous industrial chain of marine equipment covering offshore oil and gas, offshore wind power and other fields. Undocking and launching, delivery for voyage. The 1,600-ton jack-up wind power installation platform started this time has achieved new breakthroughs in the application of new technologies and intelligent installation. The energy-saving effect and public safety standards are leading domestically, providing strong support for the development of concentrated and contiguous wind power in the deep sea. It will also further promote the high-quality development of Nantong's shipbuilding industry.

Li Fei, vice president of Goldwind Technology, said that the 1,600-ton jack-up wind power installation platform of Goldwind Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. came into being under the guidance of the national "dual carbon" strategic goal and the environment where offshore wind power faces huge development opportunities. . The three new energy and equipment manufacturing enterprises, based on the resonance and attraction of cultural genes and complementary capabilities, under the kind care and guidance of local governments at all levels, work closely together to build a wind power installation platform. Taking this as a starting point, the depth, breadth and innovation of our cooperation in the new energy industry will surely develop by leaps and bounds.

It is expected that in 2025, the newly installed capacity of China's offshore wind power will reach 12-17GW, and the industry's average annual compound growth rate will reach 44%, making it the fastest-growing new energy segment. Offshore wind power will develop rapidly during the 14th Five-Year Plan. The project will speed up the industrialization of super-large offshore wind power equipment and help the independent research and development of deep-sea heavy equipment offshore engineering.
