Our country is accelerating the development of offshore wind power towards deeper seas.

Since the beginning of this year, the level of localization of key equipment for offshore wind power in China has been continuously improving, promoting the accelerated development of offshore wind power from nearshore to deep-sea areas. Recently, the world's largest offshore converter station "Heart of the Sea Breeze" has completed its offshore installation. This offshore converter station, once installed, can collect the alternating current generated by 163 wind turbines in the surrounding sea area, convert it into high-voltage direct current for transmission, significantly reducing transmission losses. This marks China's success in overcoming the challenge of high-power transmission in deep-sea areas. Once operational, it can transmit approximately 60 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity per year. With nearshore resources gradually maturing, deep-sea areas are becoming the main battleground for the development of offshore wind power in China. Since the beginning of this year, a series of technologies related to deep-sea areas, from core equipment to installation capabilities, have been accelerating breakthroughs. Recently completed is the world's largest single-unit capacity floating offshore wind platform, which for the first time uses domestically produced special polyester fiber mooring cables, each capable of withstanding approximately 1300 tons of tension. Up to now, China has completed the installation of more than 50 large-scale marine platform floaters, with a total weight exceeding 700,000 tons, achieving all-weather, all-sequence, all-sea area floating technology. Next, China will continue to promote innovation and development in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, including large-capacity wind turbines, extra-long blades, and dynamic subsea cables, laying a solid foundation for the breakthrough of one billion kilowatts of grid-connected installed capacity during the 14th Five-Year Plan period for offshore wind power.
