Fujian Putian City Flat Bay Two (Zone B)

General Information

• Wind Farm Name: Fujian Putian City Flat Bay Two (Zone B)
• Location: Offshore, Fujian Province, China.
• Coordinates: Latitude: 25° 7' 47.9", Longitude: 119° 21' 35.9".

Developer and Owner

• The specific developer and owner for Zone B are not explicitly mentioned in the sources provided. However, for context, other projects in the same region are developed by companies such as Fujian Investment and Development Group and Fujian Sanchuan Offshore Wind Power Co.

Technical Details

• Number of Turbines: The exact number of turbines for Zone B is not specified in the available sources. However, similar projects in the area, like the Fujian Putian Pinghai F Zone, feature 29 turbines.
• Turbine Type: While the specific turbine type for Zone B is not mentioned, nearby projects use turbines such as Siemens SWT-7.0-154, each with a 7MW nameplate capacity.

Geographical and Environmental Context

• Distance from Shore: Typically, offshore wind farms in this region are located several kilometers from the shore. For example, the Fujian Putian City Flat Bay wind farm is about 8 km from the shore.
• Water Depth: The water depth for offshore wind farms in this area is generally around -15 meters.

Operational Status

• The operational status of Zone B is not explicitly stated, but given that other phases of nearby projects commenced construction in 2018 and entered commercial operation by April 2020, it is plausible that Zone B could be in a similar stage of development or operation.

Impact on Maritime Traffic

• Offshore wind farms in general can influence maritime traffic flow. A study on the influence of offshore wind farms on ship traffic flow suggests that such installations can affect minimum passing distances and the lateral distribution of ship trajectories, with impacts varying by ship type categories.

Additional Information

• For detailed profiles of similar projects, such as the Fujian Putian Pinghai F Zone Offshore Wind Farm, the projects generate significant amounts of electricity (e.g., 650,000 MWh per year) and offset substantial carbon dioxide emissions (e.g., 400,000 tons per year).
