Wind from the sea delivers electricity to millions of homes.
On July 25, People's Daily prominently featured on its front page the highest-latitude offshore wind farm in China, which was constructed with the participation of Windey Energy Technology Group. The report delved into how China's offshore wind power sector, represented by Windey, is implementing President Xi Jinping's important directive to 'forge a path toward maritime strength with Chinese characteristics,' composing a magnificent chapter of China's wind power development in the vast blue seas.
By the Yellow Sea, the sky meets the water. Dozens of wind turbines, with a designed installed capacity of 350 MW, cast rotating shadows on the expansive sea, creating a stunning vista.
This is the highest-latitude offshore wind farm in China. 'Our independently developed full set of ice-resistant units, the 'Sea Harrier' platform, ensures the reliable operation of offshore wind turbines under harsh conditions such as low temperatures and ice,' said an engineer from Windey Energy Technology Group at the Dalian Zhuanghe V Wind Farm. Once operational, the project is expected to generate 770 million kWh of electricity annually.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: 'Advancing Chinese modernization requires promoting the high-quality development of the marine economy, forging a path toward maritime strength with Chinese characteristics.' Guided fundamentally by this principle, Windey Energy Technology Group has transformed its goal of 'excelling, strengthening, optimizing, and sustaining' into high-level technological capabilities and industrial practices, achieving continuous breakthroughs in the field of deep-sea wind power.
Innovation-driven, tackling core challenges in deep-sea wind power. To overcome key technological bottlenecks in deep-sea wind power, Windey collaborated with leading domestic universities to establish the Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Deep-sea Wind Power Technology. This high-level innovation platform is now focused on providing robust scientific and technological support for industrial development.
Coastal deployment, building a world-class industrial cluster. Leveraging its advantage as a leader in the new energy industry chain, Windey is actively promoting the development of deep-sea wind power industrial clusters in coastal regions such as Liaoning, Zhejiang, and Guangdong. By nurturing and attracting renowned enterprises across the industry chain, Windey aims to create a strong cluster effect to jointly lead China's wind power industry to 'ride the wind and waves and march into the deep blue.'
Comprehensive coverage, pioneering new paths for cost-effective development. Facing the complex challenges of deep-sea development, Windey has innovatively introduced industry-leading smart solutions for deep-sea wind power: developing flagship platforms like 'Sea Harrier' and 'Sea Hawk' to meet the needs of different maritime zones; mastering two core technologies—deepwater jacket fixed foundations and deep-sea floating foundations—effectively overcoming equipment development hurdles;
Smart sensing ensures reliable product operation. Through intelligent control technologies (such as radar feedforward, adaptive control, and intelligent typhoon resistance), Windey enhances power generation performance. By using an intelligent fault warning and diagnosis system, it enables unmanned operation of units, improving utilization rates; particularly, the world's first deep-sea smart solutions like "One Turbine, One Storage" and "Black Start" significantly enhance the adaptability and reliability of units in complex marine environments, providing "Windey Wisdom" for cost-effective deep-sea wind power development.
The thriving marine industry is lifting up a vibrant new space of blue economy. Looking to the future, Windey will continue to ride the wind and waves, steadfastly following the development path of innovation-driven, efficient collaboration, industrial upgrading, harmony between humans and the sea, and win-win cooperation. On the great journey of building a strong maritime nation, Windey will steadily and sustainably forge a path toward maritime strength with Chinese characteristics!
