According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, China's first independent intellectual property rights semi submersible offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform developed by CIMC Raffles has recently completed its launch and towing, and has officially been delivered to CIMC Jiguang Marine Technology (Yantai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CIMC Jiguang").

Launching and towing of the first semi submersible offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform with independent intellectual property rights in China

The semi submersible offshore floating photovoltaic power generation platform is equipped with four single floating arrays, with a total installed capacity of 400kWp and a total net deck area of approximately 1900 square meters. It includes eight systems, including floating structure support system, buoyancy material system, multi body connection and mooring system, fender collision prevention system, photovoltaic power generation and inverter system, intelligent monitoring system, dynamic submarine cable transmission system, and power consumption system, which can meet the requirements of wave height of 6.5 meters Safe operation in open sea areas with a wind speed of 34 meters/second and a tidal range of 4.6 meters, reported by Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation.

Against the backdrop of China's "dual carbon" goals, the development prospects of the photovoltaic industry are very broad. In 2022, CIMC Raffles and Yantai Municipal Government jointly funded the establishment of CIMC Solar, relying on the rich experience of CIMC Raffles in semi submersible product engineering, to provide integrated solutions for the marine integrated development of offshore photovoltaic, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

This photovoltaic power generation platform, as the first generation offshore photovoltaic product of CIMC Raffles, has been successfully installed and delivered, fully demonstrating the delivery ability of CIMC Raffles in commercial scale semi submersible photovoltaic platforms. It is an important milestone for CIMC Raffles and CIMC Solar in the photovoltaic field's successful exploration. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

The relevant person in charge of CIMC Raffles said that this photovoltaic power generation platform is the first semi submersible offshore photovoltaic demonstration project completed in China. It successfully demonstrated the feasibility of semi submersible offshore floating photovoltaic based on the rich experience of CIMC Raffles in semi submersible product engineering and the concept of multi floating array connection, which will provide effective reference for subsequent product development, large-scale application and demonstration of kilowatt hour cost, To provide exploration, demonstration, and leading paths for promoting the "semi submersible photovoltaic towards deep and distant seas", Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.
