The conference formally disclosed the most recent construction achievements of several key projects of Shantou International Wind Power Innovation Port. One of the achievements, the six-degree-of-freedom electrical and dynamic experimental platform for 40MW wind turbine sets built by CR Power will become the world's largest and leading offshore test and research platform for the ground transmission system of wind turbine sets. This platform can strongly support China's wind power technological innovation and development of large-scale sets, and advance China's major scientific research infrastructure for wind power to the top of the global rankings.
During the conference, Secretary Wen Zhanbin and Chairman Shi Baofeng jointly unveiled the above-mentioned platform, and Vice President Hou Yongjie inaugurated "Shantou Offshore Wind Power Co., Ltd." for the company undertaking the project on centralized supply of offshore wind power. Guangdong New Energy Company of CR Power signed the Framework Agreement for Strategic Cooperation on Offshore Wind Power + Marine Ranching Integration Demonstration Project and Agreement for Strategic Cooperation on Developing the International Offshore Wind Power Training Center at Shantou International Wind Power Innovation Port.
Pursue prosperity through marine projects and set out again by wind power. CR Power will continue to streamline the business structure, accelerate scientific and technological innovation, and make constant efforts to build a more resilient industry chain and supply chain for global wind power and for the sector to create larger scale and higher-quality development and achieve the Double Carbon Goals.
