ZPMC informed on Friday that it had recently won a contract to build, transport, install and commission an Offshore Booster Station for the 200MW Longyuan Dafeng offshore wind farm.
The offshore booster station consists of a foundation, including legs and a jacket structure, on which a platform is placed. The upper platform is divided into five modules based on function (a GIS module, two main substation modules, one 35kV module and one auxiliary module), since the shallow water at the site does not meet the requirements of the overall transport and lifting of the offshore platform, ZPMC explained.
“The booster station is the first domestic split-type booster, indicating that ZPMC made new breakthroughs in the field of offshore booster station business, which further laid ZPMC’s leading position in this field. Since offshore booster station is a brand new engineering field, ZPMC fully seizes the opportunity to take a hold on the market. By the end of 2016, ZPMC has held more than 70% of the market share of domestic offshore booster station,” ZPMC stated.
Dafeng offshore wind farm, owned by China Longyan Power, will comprise 80 Goldwind’s 2.5MW wind turbines.
In December 2016, Shandong Iraeta, a Sino-Spanish joint venture, won a tender for the supply of flanges for wind turbine towers for the offshore project.
