Asia’s first offshore wind turbines are being delivered to further explore deep-sea energy fusion

SHANGHAI, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 2727, SSE: 601727), a subsidiary of Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group, recently took delivery of Asia’s first offshore wind power vessels and operational vessels (SOVs), Zhizhen 100 and Zhicheng 60, in Qidong, Jiangsu Province. The cranes built by Zhenhua Heavy Industries can carry out continuous operation and maintenance in deep water and deep sea wind farms, largely eliminating the problems of marine transport vessels currently used in China. These include short time windows, inability to perform continuous operations, frequent round trips, low efficiency and poor operation in adverse sea conditions.

Liu Xiangnan, Vice President of Shanghai Electric Wind Power Groupsaid: “Both offshore wind power services and the operational vessels integrate efficient operation and maintenance, green and intelligent operation and maintenance, and are important carriers for the innovative structure of wind power deep sea electricity, supporting high-quality development in China. offshore “We will continue wind power operations and maintenance capabilities.”

The specifications of Zhizhen 100 and Zhicheng 60 are different:

• The Zhizhen 100 has an overall length of 93.4 meters, a width of 18 meters, a depth of 7.6 meters and a planned service speed of 12.3 knots;
• The Zhicheng 60 has an overall length of 72.76 meters, a beam of 17.5 meters, a depth of 7 meters and a planned service speed of 12 knots.

The two SOVs delivered are designed for efficient, sustainable, intelligent and safe maintenance. They are both equipped with the DP2 dynamic positioning system, have a large cargo area capable of storing heavy wind turbine spare parts, and have a self-sustaining capacity of over 30 days.

• The Zhizhen 100 and Zhicheng 60 are equipped with an active wave compensating pier, which reduces the movement of the ship’s body due to a wave and allows efficient personnel and spare parts movement as well as maintaining the north wind even in rough seas.
• They feature a folding arm offshore crane, workboat, table frame and aluminum alloy helicopter platform.
• They are powered by a diesel and lithium battery hybrid system with full electric propulsion and DC busbar distribution and are certified as hybrid vessels and green vessels by the China Classification Society (CCS).
• An advanced intelligent operating system improves maintenance efficiency and reduces labor intensity, extending the operating window.

“As the pioneer, leader and builder of China’s offshore wind power, Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group has played an important role in the development and growth of China’s offshore wind power, and actively responded to the energy needs China’s offshore wind to expand in depth. sea ​​to develop,” said Liu.
