The face of the first round of offshore wind power concession bidding, major domestic wind power companies are making determined efforts of active participation. 

The author shares from a subsidiary of Hunan Hunan Electric power wind Marketing Director Zou Changning Department learned that Gordon was prepared to participate in wind energy power offshore wind power in this concession bidding. Zou Changning told the author, the company has completed most of the 5MW fan design, prototype expected to be around off the assembly line in October of this year. I also learned from the Golden wind technology, the company is also actively preparing for participation in this round of bidding. It is understood, including Dongfang Electric, China electrical apparatus, including a number of companies will participate in the current round of bidding.

A researcher on the paper industry, said: "As the current round of the project construction period is expected in about two years, when many windmill power companies have recently launched a project to achieve product off the assembly line, will be ready for a certain capacity. On this view , the tender shall cover the participation of enterprises with production capacity of current and future production capacity of wind power business with. "Moreover, he expected, due to the offshore wind turbine generator  is just beginning, so the amount of the current round of bidding will not be great. Expected to total about 200-300MW, which is the size of dozens of units.

Compared to the single land-based wind power capacity will be more offshore wind power. Currently widely used in Europe is 3MW-5MW models. Number of domestic listed companies now develop more models 3MW, with a view to offshore wind power project of occupying a place in the competition.

Sinoma Science and Technology announced on April 7, said a subsidiary Sinoma leaves will come up with about 330 million yuan of funds were established in Jiuquan, Gansu Province and Jilinbaicheng wind blade production base, the product specifications in order to complete the main blade 3MW models . This is nearly two weeks Sinoma Science and Technology announced the second round of investment for the 3MW blade. Previously the company announced in March 20, will invest 220 million yuan in Beijing, building production lines 3MW wind turbine blades.

It is noteworthy that the new very short construction period. Jiuquan 3MW project construction period is 7 months, if things can be put into operation this year. The researchers said, 3MW generic model for the current main model offshore wind power project. 3MW Sinoma technology to speed up the progress of model leaves the project launched, no doubt for the future offshore wind power project in China and the reserve capacity for large-scale construction.

Recently, many companies have started to increase targeted more than 3MW wind genrators type of input. Such a premise to the Hunan Electric shares in October off the assembly line will 5MW fan. In addition, 3.6MW electric fan for the Shanghai round of the additional items. China is also ready to directional electric meter to raise funds to invest in projects 3MW fans. 

Although the major companies have started the development of high-profile offshore wind power project, but the greater cost of construction inputs and harsh conditions have large-scale offshore wind will be relatively long road. GF Securities researcher Yuan Bin said to the author, and land-based wind power compared to the cost of offshore wind generators project to be about 2 times higher. Shanghai East China Sea Bridge wind farm cost of 23,000 yuan per kilowatt, but the land cost per kilowatt of wind power in 7000-8000 dollars. Which greatly increased the cost of transport lifting offshore wind power project costs. To a foreign wind farm, for example, the cost of its technology and transportation, lifting 49% of the total costs, machinery costs account for 21%, the structure of marine cables and transformers, 16%. In addition, the offshore wind power project for the materials require a higher corrosion resistance. Yuan Bin said: "To resist the corrosive sea water and sea breeze, and now Europe's offshore wind farm has begun to become fully closed state, it also increases the offshore wind farm construction costs." Moreover, Yuan Bin introduction, offshore wind the maintenance of the vessel or helicopter often used to sea, so maintenance costs are also higher.
