On June 27th, the second phase of the Fujian Zhangpu Liuao Offshore Wind Farm Project (hereinafter referred to as the "Zhangpu Phase II Project") by China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) achieved full-capacity grid connection. This project marks the largest-scale application of offshore wind turbines with a single-unit capacity of 16 megawatts (MW) in China, featuring a total of 20 Goldwind GWH252-16MW turbines alongside its GWH252-14.3MW counterparts, significantly contributing to the high-quality development of large-scale domestic offshore wind power equipment in China.

The Zhangpu Phase II project is located in the Taiwan Strait and is affected by the "narrow tube effect". The average wind speed in the sea area where the project is located is high and the wind resources are abundant. The application of super-large capacity units can fully and efficiently utilize the advantages of its wind resources and obtain good power generation benefits. The GWH252-16MW unit batch-applied in this Zhangpu Phase II project was jointly developed by China Three Gorges Corporation and Goldwind Science and Technology. This model has won the title of "Top Ten National Treasures" of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. After its first operation in the sea area of Pingtan, Fujian Province, it has twice refreshed the world record for the single-unit daily power generation of wind turbines with 384,100 kWh and 387,200 kWh, respectively. It taps the energy of the blue ocean with high operating efficiency and high power generation income, and continuously delivers a steady stream of green power.

During the construction of the Zhangpu Phase II Project, Goldwind, together with its partners, achieved two record-breaking milestones by completing the installation of each ultra-large offshore wind turbine in just 30 and 24 hours, respectively. These achievements overcame significant challenges such as the complex installation process and limited construction windows for high-capacity turbines, successfully completing the turbine hoisting and providing invaluable practical experience for the industry.

Furthermore, Goldwind innovatively adopted the "lifting-commissioning integration" model, incorporating a "three-in-one" work approach centered on lifting, complemented by static commissioning and elastic support adjustment. This approach enhanced the dynamic commissioning efficiency of individual turbines by 35%, facilitating the efficient completion of grid connection and commissioning work for the project.

According to the National Climate Center's assessment, China's technical exploitable capacity for offshore wind energy resources in deep waters exceeds 1.2 billion kW, indicating a vast development potential. As China's offshore wind power construction shifts towards deeper waters and farther shores, the development and application of larger-scale turbines will enable a more comprehensive exploitation of distant offshore wind resources, significantly boosting the efficiency and scale of offshore wind power generation, thereby propelling China's offshore wind industry towards a higher level of development.

Driving technological innovation and iteration in the wind power sector is the inevitable path forward. Goldwind remains committed to upholding quality standards, fostering independent innovation, and collaborating with industrial chain partners to achieve breakthroughs. By offering more efficient, reliable wind power equipment, and trustworthy services, Goldwind aims to propel China's wind power industry deeper and farther into the ocean.
