Research on Design-Led EPC Project Management of Offshore Wind Power Project

Abstract

[Introduction] In order to cope with the huge challenges of the development of offshore wind power industry in the grid parity stage and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the offshore wind power industry, [Method] based on experience from some design-led EPC projects in China, the application of EPC mode in power engineering was analyzed, the current unique challenges and countermeasures of offshore wind power project EPC management were put forward, and the main advantages of design-led offshore wind power project in the grid parity stage were summarized from the macro level. [Result] The research shows that the EPC mode is of great help to the cost reduction and efficiency increase of offshore wind power, especially the design-led EPC mode, which effectively mobilizes the forces of all links in the industry chain to reduce costs and increase efficiency. [Conclusion] The research results provide a useful reference for promoting the sustainable development of offshore wind power in the grid parity stage, and will effectively promote the high-quality development of deep sea offshore wind farms in the grid parity stage.
