On July 13, the Guangzhou Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of China successfully installed the world's first anti-typhoon floating offshore wind turbine in the Yangjiang waters of Guangdong.

  The successful installation of this wind turbine marked a zero breakthrough in the installation of floating offshore wind turbines in China, and laid a good foundation for the large-scale development of deep sea wind power in the future.

At the same time, it has also contributed to Guangzhou's salvage power for Guangdong Province to accelerate the transformation of the energy structure, achieve the "dual carbon" goal, and help the construction of a powerful transportation country, a powerful ocean country and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

  The project is a special key scientific research project for offshore wind power in Guangdong Province in 2018 approved by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Natural Resources to promote the high-quality development of the marine economy. Relying on the Three Gorges Guangdong Offshore Wind Power Project, the design, development and demonstration application of floating wind power test prototypes are carried out.

  The project is located in the A1 area of ​​the third phase of the 400MW offshore wind farm project in Yangjiang, Yangjiang, Yangjiang, Guangdong. The water depth is 28 to 32 meters, and the center of the site is 30 kilometers away from the shore.

  The wind turbine on the platform is the world's first anti-typhoon offshore floating wind turbine, which can withstand up to 17 typhoons.

The floating wind turbine has a single unit capacity of 5,500 kilowatts, with a full power generation capacity of 5,500 kWh per hour, and can provide green and clean energy for 30,000 households each year.
