All countries in the world are seeking to speed up energy transformation. China's coastal provinces are actively promoting the development of offshore wind power, and offshore wind power is moving forward at a high speed! Recently, CNOOC Guanlan, China's first deep-sea floating wind power platform, set sail from the Fluor Wharf in Zhuhai, Guangdong to the waters of Wenchang, Hainan. According to reports, CNOOC Guanlan is currently the deepest and farthest in the world, and it is also the world's first semi-submersible deep-sea wind power platform that supplies power to offshore oil and gas fields and has the worst sea environment. Many indicators are at the international advanced level.

Kang Siwei, general manager of the Engineering Construction Center of CNOOC New Energy Branch, introduced that CNOOC Guanlan is the first floating wind power platform in China with a working sea area more than 100 kilometers from the coastline and a water depth of more than 100 meters. After the platform is completed and put into use, China's independent offshore wind power development capability will be raised from a water depth of less than 50 meters to more than 100 meters, laying a solid foundation for wind power development from shallow seas to deep seas.

It is understood that CNOOC Guanlan will be installed in the offshore oil field 136 kilometers away from Wenchang. After being put into operation, the annual power generation of the wind turbines will reach 22 million kWh, and the power will be connected to the grid of offshore oilfields through dynamic submarine cables for oil and gas production, which can save nearly 10 million cubic meters of natural gas and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 22,000 tons per year. At the same time, CNOOC Guanlan is also the world's first semi-submersible deep-sea wind power platform that supplies power to offshore oil and gas fields and has the harshest sea environment. It has multiple indicators such as investment per megawatt, steel consumption per megawatt, and capacity of a single floating wind turbine. At the international advanced level.

At present, China has built more than 20 offshore wind power industrial parks. The cumulative grid-connected installed capacity of offshore wind power exceeds 30 million kilowatts, which continues to rank first in the world. The development and utilization of offshore wind power resources is approaching saturation. Promoting wind power to advance into the deep sea with better wind energy resources and less human activities has positive significance for China to accelerate the construction of a clean and low-carbon energy system and form a globally competitive wind power industry chain and supply chain.
