Over the past five years, the average individual capacity of newly installed offshore wind turbines has increased from 4 megawatts to 7.5 megawatts. Operating stations have been positioned more than 80 kilometers offshore, with the accelerated adoption of technologies such as floating wind turbines and flexible direct current converter platforms, he said.

Uppväxlingen går enormt fort framförallt på grund av sjunkande priser, enligt Shu Yinbiao, forskare på Kinas ingenjörsakademi.
För att snabba på etableringen behövs information från myndigheterna, helst öppet tillgängliga databaser, om marina miljöer och förhållanden, säger Shu.
Vad har det för betydelse
According to Wang Liangyou, executive vice-president of China Three Gorges Corp, offshore wind power, which represents a strategically emerging technology that deeply integrates wind power and marine engineering, can significantly ease electricity demand in the central and eastern regions while enhancing energy self-sufficiency in key areas such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta region and the Pearl River Delta region.
He suggested continuously advancing scientific research and technological development to promote domestic production, reducing dependence on foreign technologies and boosting the competitiveness of domestic industries.
