Fuqing Xinghua Bay - Phase

Location

The Fuqing Xinghua Bay Offshore Wind Farm is located in Xinghua Bay, Fuqing City, Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China.

The project is being developed by Fuqing Haixia Electricity Generation, with co-ownership by China Three Gorges New Energy and Fujian Energy Group, each holding a 50% stake.

While the specific term "Phase 1" is not exclusively used for the prototype test site in all sources, it is clear that there are multiple phases and test sites within the Fuqing Xinghua Bay project.
For the prototype test site involving Mingyang turbines, two units of the MySE5.5/7.0MW platform were installed earlier in the year 2018. However, for the CSIC or similar 5MW turbines:
- Phase IC of the Fuqing Xinghua Bay Offshore Wind Farm involves turbines from Taiyuan Heavy Industry, each with a 5MW nameplate capacity. However, it does not specify CSIC directly.
- Another phase, Phase IE, involves a turbine from Dongfang Electric with a 5MW nameplate capacity, but again, it does not specify CSIC.

Given the closest match, Phase IC involves 2 turbines, each with a 5MW nameplate capacity from Taiyuan Heavy Industry. If CSIC is involved, it would likely be under a similar configuration:
- Turbine type: Possibly CSIC or similar (though specified as Taiyuan Heavy Industry or Dongfang Electric in available sources)
- Nameplate capacity: 5MW per turbine.

The prototype test site turbines, such as those from Mingyang, were connected to the grid in June and August 2018 and have been operational since then. For the specific 5MW turbines, the operational status would depend on the phase completion, but the overall project started commercial operation in November 2017.

The performance data for the specific 5MW turbines is not detailed in the sources, but the Mingyang turbines installed earlier achieved a high utilization rate of 99.9% and generated significant power, indicating the potential efficiency of similar turbines in the project.

The project involves various contractors, including GE Renewable Energy for operations and maintenance, and LM Wind Power Holding for rotor blades. However, specific contractors for the CSIC or similar 5MW turbines are not detailed in the sources provided.
