Mobile WebSiteAs the onshore wind power "rush installation" is nearing its end, the problems of offshore wind power "rush installation" and the delivery of offshore wind turbines are further highlighted. At the same time, the demand for onshore wind turbine delivery will decline next year, and the redundant onshore supply chain established this year will likewise be transferred to the offshore market. In this context, letting land-based wind turbines "go offshore" and delivering land-based wind turbines to offshore projects has become an alternative.
However, on the one hand, it is necessary to catch up with the grid before the end of next year and grab subsidized electricity prices. On the other hand, it is to withstand the potential unknown risks brought by the onshore wind turbine “going to sea”. On the balance of potential risks and electricity price returns, some companies are in a dilemma.
Large gap in demand for offshore wind turbines
"Onshore wind turbines have low power, and they will require more pile foundations for offshore wind power projects, which is not economical." Han Huali, president of China National Marine Research Institute, believes that "onshore" wind turbines "going out of the sea" will not meet the technical requirements for project approval Ideal choice.
It is understood that offshore wind turbines have adopted a higher reliability standard from the design source to avoid the economic losses caused by the failure of wind turbines, and at the same time minimize the project operation and maintenance costs. Estimates show that, assuming that the IRR (internal rate of return) of an offshore wind farm project is theoretically 12%, an additional 5 failures will cause it to fall to 11%, and a batch failure will cause it to fall to 7%.
