SHANGHAI, Oct. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Shanghai Electric ("Shanghai Electric" or "the Company") (601727.SS and

02727.HK) announced the release of its latest offshore wind turbine model,

Petrel platform SEW11.0-208, at a forum themed around "zero carbon" that

invited the leaders in China's wind power industry to shed light on

opportunities in the context of China's commitment to carbon emissions

reduction. Another stride forward along its offshore innovation pathway, the

Shanghai Electric's flagship direct-drive turbine, of which the company has

full proprietary intellectual property, features a nameplate capacity of 11 MW

– the largest of its kind in Asia – marking a major breakthrough for China's

homegrown innovation in offshore wind technology.

SEW11.0-208 is the first offshore wind turbine to take full advantage of the

prowess of Shanghai Electric's self-developed Petrel platform that is

purpose-built to withstand high temperatures, humidity and salt, as well as

changeable and complex marine environments such as earthquakes and typhoons.

Against the backdrop of China's peak carbon and carbon neutrality goals,

SEW11.0-208 is an extension of Shanghai Electric's effort in making wind energy

a dominant energy source by launching an extremely economical direct-drive wind

power product capable of maintaining high power-generation efficiency and a low

failure rate in both ordinary and typhoon sea areas.

Adopting full-cycle digital design, production, O&M management, SEW11.0-208

harnesses Shanghai Electric's latest LeapX control system to reduce operating

load and improve the operating stability of the unit. The new offshore giant

uses S102 102-meter carbon-fiber blades that deliver enormous strength and

superior performance thanks to its world-leading aerodynamic design. As a fully

digitized smart wind turbine, SEW11.0-208 is also supercharged by Shanghai

Electric's Fengyun system, a cloud-based remote management platform, to boost

operational efficiency and profitability for developers.

"As a global leader in offshore wind, Shanghai Electric is dedicated to helping

China achieve peak carbon and carbon neutrality by leveraging its extensive

proven technology in the field of renewable energy. The launch of our Petrel

platform is a huge achievement for Shanghai Electric, which marks an important

leap forward in our journey as we explore better and superior new energy

products and solutions that lead the world stepping towards a greener future,"

said Jin Xiaolong, Vice President of Shanghai Electric.

Shanghai Electric, as one of the innovation powerhouses in China's wind power

industry, will continue spearheading the development of renewable technologies

to support China's carbon neutrality goal using big data, cloud computing,

Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and 5G, pioneering technological

innovations to establish an advanced zero-carbon power system.

Shanghai Electric is also in pole position to reap the benefit of Shantou

Offshore Wind Power Industry Alliance in its push to establish and consolidate

the offshore wind power industry chain for the city, establishing a new energy

industry ecosystem by synergizing industry players. Built upon Shanghai

Electric's success in building the first zero-carbon factory, it will continue

exploring new technologies and business models with the aim of helping China

usher in the era of zero-carbon emissions.
