Comparative Analysis and Applicability Research of Corrosion Protection Standards for Offshore Wind Farms

Abstract

In response to the issue of corrosion prevention in offshore wind farms，by collecting existing industry standards and specifications，combined with the characteristics of Chinese marine environment，a comparison and applicability analysis of relevant standards were conducted.The more applicable corrosion prevention standards for offshore wind farms were summarized and discussed from the following aspects: First，the current mainstream anti-corrosion technologies and their applications situation，including metal surface treatment and anticorrosive coatings，were examined；second，the characteristics of the operating environment of offshore wind power plants in coastal and ocean-going areas，as well as their differentiated needs on corrosion prevention technologies，were analyzed，and applicable corrosion prevention standards for different regions were put forward；third，the selection principles and performance evaluation indexes of anti-corrosion materials，including the assessment methods for the anti-corrosion performance of single materials and composite materials，were analyzed；fourth，the need to strengthen the performance evaluation of anti-corrosion materials and the formulation and updating of standards for ocean-going wind farms was emphasized.The research results were of great significance in promoting the sustainable development of offshore wind farms in China and improving the level of anti-corrosion protection technology.
