China Announces Start of Construction of Offshore Wind Farm with New Turbines. The Project Will Feature 16 MW Wind Turbines and Have the Capacity to Generate Up to 400 MW.

The China announced last Saturday (4) the start of construction of its first extensive offshore wind turbine park, using 16 MW turbines. This represents a significant shift from the smaller and less efficient turbines that China’s offshore wind farms typically use, according to data from China Global Television Network (CGTN) on Sunday.

China’s New Offshore Wind Farm Will Have a Capacity of 400 MW

According to Gon Kuangmin, Deputy General Manager of Zhangpu Haixia Co. LTD, currently, wind turbines with a single capacity of less than 10 MW are generally used in China’s offshore wind power parks.

The executive emphasizes that the larger the turbine capacity, the greater the efficiency in electricity generation and the lower the development and operating costs. The new wind farm, which will be installed 32.8 km off the coast of Zhangpu County in Fujian Province and will feature 400 MW of power, is expected to start feeding electricity into the grid by the end of August this year.

China Continues to Make Progress in the Wind Energy Sector

In November of last year, the 16 MW offshore wind turbine produced by Goldwind Science And Technology Co and CTG came off the assembly line. This follows significant developments in the offshore wind energy sector in China, where in January of this year, 18 MW wind turbines were unveiled by Haizhuang Wind Power and Ming Yang Smart Energy Group.

Meanwhile, China’s investments to become a leader in the global clean energy market have advanced significantly with the construction of its first sizable offshore wind farm with 16 MW turbines.

This year’s forecast is that the demand for advanced energy storage in China will broaden by nearly 50%, reaching 30 GWH, increasing the overall demand to 100 GWh.

China Builds Over 440 Wind Energy Projects

The leading energy storage provider in China, Sungrow Power Supply, listed in Shenzhen, predicted at the end of last month that its net profit could have doubled compared to the previous year, to 3.2 to 3.8 billion yuan (US$ 560 million) in the last year.

About 446 wind energy projects were completed with equipment tendering last year, totaling 87 GW of installed power capacity, exceeding the 60 GW that were installed in 2021, according to data from wind energy information provider Windmango.

The installed capacity of wind and solar energy in the Asian country grew 22% last year compared to the previous year, according to data from Fitch Ratings. It is noteworthy that in October 2022, China unveiled the largest offshore wind turbine in the world, which has an installed capacity of 13.6 MW.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The reign of carpets in the entrance hall has come to an end: aluminum mats emerge as a new trend that hardly gets dirty, lasts longer, and improves the hygiene of spaces.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.

Cities in the United States are slowly sinking, and the reason behind the ground subsidence may surprise even experts as buildings, streets, and entire neighborhoods begin to give way without visible signs.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
