China wind power equipment manufacturers are actively developing large-scale wind turbines, promising to promote the development of offshore wind power.

30 pm, Xinjiang Gold Wind Technologies AG, the media communication will be held in Beijing, announced that the company’s first direct-drive permanent magnet 6 MW offshore wind turbine prototype of the first half of next year, and power generation, mass production in 2014.

Goldwind Chief Engineer Cuixin Wei said: “The large-scale offshore wind turbine will be the trend by increasing the unit capacity, we can enhance the unit wind farm construction in the proportion of the cost, effectively reducing the total offshore wind farm construction costs. “However, compared with onshore wind farms, offshore wind farm capacity of the same capital investment of about 40% higher.

Recently, the United States electric power technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Electric, CSIC (Chongqing) Sea Windpower Equipment Co., Ltd. and other companies have said will be the year or early next year at sea off the assembly line for the 5 MW or 6 MW wind turbine. Last October, China’s largest wind turbine manufacturer, Sinovel and XEMC Limited were off the assembly line manufacture of self-developed 5 MW offshore wind turbines.

Industry experts believe that China’s wind power equipment manufacturing companies to launch such a large fan-intensive, marking China’s offshore wind power  generators has entered the era from 3 MW 5 MW and 6 MW of the transition. Experts point out that offshore wind power capacity must be in stand-alone unit total installed capacity of wind farms have reached a certain scale before profitability.

Liu Qi, deputy director of the National Energy Board recently said that the future maritime unit capacity should be developed gradually from 3 MW to 5 MW or more above the intertidal zone unit capacity of the project should not be less than 2 MW.

Offshore wind power has rich resources, hours of high electricity use, not suitable for large-scale occupation of land and development characteristics. Rich in wind resources offshore China, after a preliminary assessment, China’s offshore wind energy resources can be developed shallow waters about 200 million kilowatts.

China Renewable Energy Association Committee Vice Chairman Shi Pengfei that, with high-speed land-based wind power development, the Chinese offshore wind power is still at an early and exploratory stage, Chinese technical support for offshore wind power is relatively weak.

In the offshore wind farm construction, China has built offshore small wind turbines project 138,000 kilowatts, accounting for total installed wind power capacity of less than 1% of the world’s offshore wind power installed capacity of around 4%. Have been incorporated into national macro-vision of the project there are 2.588 million kilowatts.

Liu Qi said, “five-second” period, China will be “safe, positive” to promote offshore wind power development, and “the scale of development, advanced technology,” China’s offshore wind power is one of the principles of work. National Energy Bureau, China’s offshore wind power development goals for 2015 reached 500 million kilowatts in 2020 to reach 30 million kilowatts. This year, the National Energy Board will start the second offshore wind power concession projects tender preparation, tender is expected to be completed early next year, with a total construction scale of 1.5 to 2 million kilowatts.
