Recently, the transaction announcement of the wind turbine and ancillary equipment procurement project of the Wanning offshore floating project prototype project of the Central South Institute of China Power Construction Co., Ltd.: CRRC Zhuzhou Institute won the bid package 1 and the bid package 6. It is understood that the project is located in Wanning County, Hainan Province, with a capacity of 100MW, invested and developed by China Power Construction, and plans to use 6 prototypes of 16-18MW wind turbines. The winning bid marks another important step for CRRC's offshore wind power business, which is of milestone significance.
Over the years, CRRC and PowerChina have carried out extensive cooperation in new energy fields such as wind power, photovoltaics, and energy storage, and since the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement in June 2021, the two sides have cooperated on a total of 2,000+ MW of wind power projects. In the future, the two sides will give full play to their respective advantages and work together to promote the large-scale development and technological progress of offshore floating wind power in China.
The development and business expansion of offshore floating wind turbines is a major strategic deployment of CRRC in thoroughly implementing the energy security strategy and promoting the high-quality development of wind power equipment. Under the overall planning of CRRC Group, a scientific research system for the research and development of offshore floating units has been constructed, the design method of floating unit system has been mastered, and major technical problems such as the integrated design of floating unit system, the vibration stability of floating unit system under operating conditions, and the high reliability and low-cost operation and maintenance of the whole machine system have been solved. The winning of the bid for offshore floating wind turbines is a strong embodiment of the major breakthroughs made by CRRC Qihang New Energy and CRRC Zhuzhou in terms of resource integration, scientific research collaboration, and key technology research, and CRRC Shandong Wind Power Company and CRRC Dalian Company also participated in the research and development. In the future, CRRC will thoroughly implement the energy security strategy, give full play to its advantages in the entire wind power industry chain, continue to provide excellent technologies and products, promote the high-quality development of the new energy industry, and help the country accelerate the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
