Wind power is the world’s fastest-growing new energy, offshore wind represents the current wind power technology, the highest level, requires equipment, high reliability, easy installation, easy maintenance, great size of the market, the risk is high, equipment by the countries concerned, are set off investment boom. Currently more than 100 countries and regions began to develop wind power, concentrated in major markets in Europe, Asia and North America.

According to “five” renewable energy plan, wind power renewable energy as an important new force continue to develop, plan in 2015 China’s offshore wind power installed capacity of 500 million kilowatts, planned offshore wind power by 2020, 30 million kilowatts installed capacity .

Offshore wind power the fastest-growing New England in 2009 to achieve installed capacity of 306,000 kilowatts, a total installed capacity of 894,000 kilowatts in 2010, the British offshore wind power capacity exceeded 100 million kilowatts. As at the end of 2010, China’s offshore wind power installed capacity of only 142,500 kilowatts in 2010, the world’s offshore wind installed capacity of 3.5 million kilowatts of electricity accounts for only about 4%.

China stabling of offshore wind power project in Shanghai East Sea Bridge, 100,000 kilowatts project, Jiangsu Dafeng intertidal 300,000 kilowatts last year, the wind turbines government first round of demonstration projects and 100 thousands of Wahe upwind power tender. Domestic and foreign professionals believe that by 2020, the only country outside Europe will be a rapid development of offshore wind power market, especially the next five years, China’s offshore wind power will enter a period of accelerated development.

It is reported that 100 thousands Wahe tender upwind power project development will be completed in four years, for our future large-scale development of offshore wind power, the development of tariff policy and management mechanisms useful to explore.

It is understood that the first half of next year the National Energy Board may also start the second round of offshore wind power concession projects, bidding to be the size of 200 million kilowatts, compared with the first round of bidding double. Some experts assert that with the accelerated development of offshore wind power, wind power will become the coastal provinces and cities along the main source of future energy supply.

According to Deputy Chief Engineer of Water Water Planning and Design Easy Yuechun introduced the National Energy Board is organizing the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to carry out offshore wind power planning, promote the construction of offshore wind turbine generator demonstration projects, focusing on development and construction of Jiangsu, Shandong offshore wind power base, promote Hebei, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other provinces offshore wind power construction.

National Energy Board will organize relevant units in the summary of each province offshore wind power planning based on the results, considering the wind farm project the progress of preparatory work, construction and power-consumptive market conditions and other factors, the preliminary work program effective arrangements to implement the wind electricity planning objectives.

China’s offshore wind resource is abundant, especially the eastern coast of Jiangsu coastal beaches and offshore wind power has developed very good condition, large-scale development of the basic conditions have been met. According to preliminary results of detailed investigation of wind energy resources, China Meteorological Administration, China’s measured depth of 5 meters to 25 meters within the coastal zone line, 50 meters above sea level, wind power can be installed capacity of about 200 million kilowatts, 70 meters can be installed capacity of about 500 million kilowatts.

In addition, China has initially with the offshore wind power design, construction and equipment manufacturing capacity, development and construction of a number of offshore wind power demonstration project, Hua Rui, Jin Feng, Shanghai Electric and other eight plant units with a total of 54 offshore wind power operating results for future large-scale development of offshore wind power has gained experience and training of a professional team, such as CCCC Third Harbor Bureau, Nantong ocean water to build more than 10 involved in the construction of offshore wind power company, for the development and construction of offshore wind power to lay a solid foundation.
