On the azure coast, giant wind turbines stand tall on the sea surface, continuously converting sea breeze into clean electricity. After years of continuous research and development, China's offshore wind power industry has achieved a leap from offshore to deep blue, with multiple world-class equipment landing and put into use, and the industry chain's independent and controllable level continues to strengthen. With the gradual narrowing of offshore development space, the vast potential of deep sea resources has become the core direction for the industry's next breakthrough, and massive wind energy resources are waiting to be transformed into green kinetic energy.

Leading the world in scale

For five consecutive years, China's offshore wind power has ranked first in the world in terms of cumulative grid connection and annual new installed capacity, accounting for more than half of the global share, with an annual power generation of over 100 billion kilowatt hours. As of the end of September this year, the cumulative grid connection of offshore wind power in China reached 49.84 million kilowatts, with an additional 2.27 million kilowatts added in the first three quarters. Iconic projects such as the 20 MW unit in Fujian, the 16 MW floating platform in Yangjiang, and the high-end flexible transmission project have successively landed, forming a trillion yuan output value in nearly 20 coastal industrial clusters.

The industrial chain has a solid foundation

China has the most complete offshore wind power industry chain in the world, with blade gearbox generators accounting for 64%, 80%, and 73% of production capacity respectively, and all core components of 20 MW units are domestically produced. Breakthroughs have been made in key equipment such as high load-bearing mooring lines and large capacity flexible DC converter valves, which have the ability to build a million kilowatt level base 100 kilometers offshore. Manufacturing and engineering capabilities continue to strengthen.

Aim for a deep sea attack

The amount of wind energy technology suitable for development in China's offshore areas is about 2.78 billion kilowatts, with over 1.2 billion kilowatts in the deep-sea areas. The deep-sea environment is complex, and there are still shortcomings in the industry. According to the 15th Five Year Plan, the cumulative installed capacity of offshore wind power is expected to exceed 100 million kilowatts by 2030. During the 15th Five Year Plan period, it is planned to start approximately 100 million kilowatts of new construction. The industry will promote strengthening and supplementing the supply chain, improve the industrial ecology, and deeply cultivate the main battlefield of the deep sea.

The development of offshore wind power is not only a direct reflection of China's new energy industry competitiveness, but also an important lever for implementing the dual carbon goals. Under policy guidance and industrial chain coordination, domestic enterprises continue to break through the technical difficulties of deep and offshore wind energy, continuously unleash the potential of ocean wind energy, and continuously inject a continuous stream of offshore green electricity into the transformation of energy structure.Editor/Li Xiaohua
