Research on Key Technologies and Industrial Chain Cooperation Paths of Floating Offshore Wind Power Between China and Europe

Abstract

China’s equipment manufacturing system and Europe’s experience in project complement each other. Firstly, this paper focused on the industrial chain and key technologies of floating offshore such as wind turbines, floating foundations, mooring and anchoring system, dynamic submarine cables, survey and design, construction, transportation and installation, operation and maintenance, etc. An evaluation system for the industrial chain with deep vertical analysis and horizontal expansion and comparison was established. Then, combined with the results of China-Europe comparison in different segments, 18 key cooperation areas were proposed. Finally, the study also explored the 4 stages of cooperation paths: exchange & sharing, cooperative construction, scale application and global promotion. It is expected to solve the problems of sole form of demonstration prototype foundation, high cost and immature industry chain,and provide certain ideas and inspiration between China and Europe floating offshore wind power cooperation.
