Large-scale development of renewable energy in China is accelerating

The CRESP Phase II project also focuses on promoting the progress of renewable energy technology, especially in offshore wind power, and the system supports the basic work of promoting the development of the offshore wind power industry, including supporting the preparation of five national standards for offshore wind turbines, such as "Offshore wind turbines - Design Requirements" and "Offshore wind turbines - Operation and Maintenance". It has carried out international benchmarking work on three engineering standards such as offshore wind power foundation design and offshore wind power booster station, supported the research and proposed the planning, design and evaluation methods, key equipment technology and other specifications of offshore wind power direct current into the grid system suitable for the construction and development of offshore wind farms in China. Support the construction of a national offshore wind group testing center, which provides strong support for the development of China's offshore wind power industry.

Kong Tao, deputy Director of the New Energy Department of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, said at the 2021 China Solar Thermal Power Conference: "The National Energy Administration has always supported the development of the solar thermal power generation industry, and will continue to support the construction of a certain scale of solar thermal power generation projects in areas with high quality resources, through the integration of wind power and photovoltaic power generation bases, to give full play to the regulatory role of solar thermal power generation and system support capacity, to ensure the sustainable development of the solar thermal power generation industry."

"In promoting the development of solar thermal power generation, the CRESP Phase II project supports a team of international first-class technical experts to conduct systematic solar thermal power generation engineering design training for relevant institutions. At the same time, we support Zhejiang Zhongkong Solar Technology Co., LTD., Northwest Electric Power Design Institute, China Quality Certification Center and other units to research and develop the design optimization system of solar thermal power station and the key components of high temperature collector, collector tube and control system, and increase the power for the rapid development of solar thermal power industry."
