ZPMC-built converter station helps Rudong wind farm exceed 10 billion kWh generation
China Three Gorges Renewables' Rudong offshore wind farm, utilizing a ZPMC-built converter station, has surpassed 10 billion kWh in cumulative power generation. The project is Asia's first offshore wind farm to transmit power to shore using VSC-HVDC technology.
China Three Gorges Renewables' 800 MW Rudong offshore wind farm in Jiangsu Province has surpassed 10 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of cumulative power generation. A key component of the project's operation is the offshore converter station supplied by ZPMC.
The project holds the distinction of being Asia's first offshore wind farm to employ VSC-HVDC (Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current) technology for transmitting power ashore. This technology facilitates more efficient and stable electricity transfer over long distances, a critical factor for large-scale offshore wind installations.
The milestone reached by the Rudong wind farm underscores the growing capacity of renewable energy, particularly offshore wind, in China and across Asia. The facility's substantial output contributes to the region's ongoing energy transition towards cleaner sources.
The converter station provided by ZPMC is integral to the infrastructure enabling the wind farm's effective operation and energy output. The company's role in the project's technical realization has been significant.
