Ocean, not only provides rich resources of biological species, but also a huge wind resource potential. Compared to the land, sea, wind power efficiency may be higher. However, due to adverse climate and environment at sea, a huge destructive typhoon, wind generators this “green cake” is always a dilemma. Today, Asia’s first offshore wind event, held in Shanghai, the reporter was informed that as technology improved, the future development of offshore wind power, the strong typhoon is no longer a major “bottleneck.”

When oil and coal resources are depleted, new energy will be the best alternative. In China, about 1,800 km coastline, high winds at sea, with little wind on the static, which means that our prospects for offshore wind power generation.

However, offshore wind has been facing challenges on many factors. And land-based wind power different 是 sea often have big storms, wave damage held meetings on the wind  generator, the salt water in the generator will also corrode metal parts, there are features of the seabed, whether for a fixed generator, is have to consider. In addition, each summer, the southeast coast of the typhoon is also critical, if the wind is large enough, a huge wind turbine blades may even be a bad blow.

“Install wind turbines in the sea, need stability, corrosion protection and security and other aspects to consider, but basically the current industry technology can adapt to most of the environment.” Responsible for building our country’s first offshore wind power demonstration project – Shanghai Donghai Bridge 10, the electric field thousands of Wahe upwind Sinovel official told reporters that the new technology makes wind turbines in different environments, “self-protection”, such as anti-corrosion technology against the corrosive effects of seawater, and when the wind beyond a certain level, the fan will own stall, to prevent accidents. Moreover, the current mature technology, has let the wind power engine 18 operating under the super typhoon.

It is reported that, with the offshore wind power technology and marketing, our coastal areas will appear more and more wind farms. Shanghai East Sea Bridge wind power generaotrs farm, for example, since last September has been put into the first unit of electricity nearly 20 million kwh, and it is estimated that the annual energy output of wind farms up to 261 million kwh, equivalent to annual savings of about 100,000 tons coal, about 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
