How is China tackling offshore wind power curtailment?

The government has launched a multi-pronged initiative to combat renewable energy curtailment [60, 61], which has reduced the dismantling rate of offshore wind power. Moreover, China is making determined efforts to promote offshore wind deployment.

Can offshore wind energy be used for power generation?

In theory, the offshore wind energy generation potential can meet all the electricity demands of the coastal provinces [9, 19]. Moreover, with the advancement of technology, wind turbines can capture more energy for power generation.

Will offshore wind power become a major resource of China's energy supply?

Offshore wind power is very likely to become a major resource of China's energy supply in the future [11, 15]. Evaluating the spatiotemporal effectiveness and environmental effects of offshore wind energy is the prerequisite for large-scale development of offshore wind farms [9, 16].

Are offshore wind power farms being developed with higher turbine heights?

Offshore wind power farms are being developed with higher turbine heights and larger turbine diameters. The assumptions in our study (100 m of turbine height and 150 m of turbine diameter) are in line with the current situation and future developing trends . Each wind turbine occupies an area of 1.1 km 2 with 7D of turbine-turbine distance.
