Longyuan completes China’s 1st semi-submersible offshore wind-solar-fishery project
The CHN Energy Yellow Sea No.1 project, China’s first semi-submersible integrated offshore wind-solar-fishery platform, has been completed. The project is located in Sheyang, Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, within an offshore wind farm area, and was independently developed and built by Longyuan Power, a subsidiary of CHN Energy. It pioneers an integrated model combining wind, photovoltaics, energy storage, and aquaculture.
The platform utilizes an innovative anchoring system, using 4 suction caissons and chains to withstand rough sea conditions, and supports aquaculture in a water volume of 11,500 m³. A 50 kW solar array and modular energy storage system are installed on top of the platform, enabling 100% clean energy self-sufficiency throughout the aquaculture process.
In September, CHN Energy completed the country’s first demonstration project of a ‘grid-generation-storage-railway’ integrated energy supply system (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
