SHANGHAI, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group Co.,

Ltd.'s<https://www.shanghai-electric.com/group_en/windpower/> (Shanghai

Electric) first EW8.X-230 wind turbine generator rolled off the production line

at the Putian manufacturing facility on June 10, representing a new milestone

in China's offshore wind power parity market.

Based on the Poseidon platform, the EW8.X-230 is a generator designed for the

medium-low wind speeds normally experienced just above the sea surface off the

Chinese shoreline, as well as the different stresses placed on the equipment

dependent on wind direction.

Despite the average low wind speeds, the generator provides a cost-effective

solution for the utilization of wind as an energy resource to drive the

development of wind farms and allow China to meet the targets of carbon peaking

and carbon neutrality as we enter the era of offshore parity.

Incorporating Shanghai Electric's 10 years of experience with offshore

platforms, the Poseidon platform is known for its advanced blade design,

reliable paddle and yaw system, efficient and low energy consumption cooling

system, as well as optimal electrical system. The company's proven production,

transportation and maintenance solutions also provide a solid foundation for

the reliability of the platform. With the highly integrated new-generation

semi-direct drive chain technology from Shanghai Electric, the platform

delivers a significant reduction in kilowatt-hour costs across the whole life

cycle of wind farms.

The system uses 100-meter carbon fiber blades, leverages intelligent Sensor

Roller technology and manages the digital design, production and O&M across the

whole life cycle. With the company's latest LeapX control system, the EW8.X-230

reduces the operating load of the whole system while establishing an

intelligent interconnection with Shanghai Electric's Fengyun system to

continuously improve utilization rate and customer yield.

Based on an average annual wind speed of 7.5 meters per second, the system can

generate 28 million kWh annually, meeting the annual electricity demand of

14,500 households while reducing coal consumption by nearly 10,000 tons and

carbon dioxide emissions by 24,000 tons.
