Lingang Demonstration - 1

Project Name

Shanghai Lingang Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project (also referred to as Shanghai Lingang Demonstration - 1)

Location

The project is located in the East China Sea, off the coast of Shanghai, China.

Owner and Developer

The project is owned by Shenergy, although it was initially developed by Huaneng Renewables Corporation Ltd.

Capacity and Phases

The Shanghai Lingang Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project has been developed in multiple phases:

Phase I Demonstration Project

• This phase consists of two parts:
  • Part A: Equipped with 25 Shanghai Electric Wind Power Equipment W4000-136 turbines, each with a 4MW nameplate capacity, totaling 100MW.
  • Part B: Equipped with 2 Shanghai Electric Wind Power Equipment SWT-6.0-172 turbines, each with a 6MW nameplate capacity, totaling 12MW.
  • Total capacity for Phase I: 112MW.

Initial Demonstration Project

• This initial phase is a 100.8MW offshore wind power project.
  • It features 28 units of Shanghai Electric Wind Power Equipment W3600/116 turbines, each with a 3.6MW nameplate capacity.

Construction and Operation

• Construction Commencement and Completion:
  • The initial demonstration project began construction and was commissioned in December 2016.
  • Phase I construction commenced in 2018 and entered commercial operation in July 2019.

Turbine and Foundation Details

• Turbines:
  • The initial phase uses W3600/116 turbines with 3.6MW nameplate capacity.
  • Phase I uses W4000-136 turbines with 4MW nameplate capacity and SWT-6.0-172 turbines with 6MW nameplate capacity.
• Foundations:
  • The turbines in both phases are installed on fixed foundations, with an array of monopile foundations.

Electricity Generation

• The initial demonstration project generates approximately 266,000 MWh of electricity annually, which is enough to power about 100,000 households.

Contractors Involved

• Shanghai Electric Wind Power Equipment was selected as the turbine supplier for the project.

Current Status

• The project is currently active and operational since its commissioning in December 2016 for the initial phase and July 2019 for Phase I.
