The Center was commissioned by Sinovel upon receiving approval from the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration. It is the only national R&D center focused on the study of offshore wind power technology and equipment in China. The Center was built with the aim to attract leading global talent in the design and development of wind power technology who could best maximize the facility’s state-of-the-art equipment and laboratory capabilities. The Center has been responsible for the development of the leading 3MW, 5MW and 6MW onshore, offshore and intertidal series of wind turbines, and is currently working on the development of wind turbines with a generating capacity of 10MW or higher. In addition, Sinovel is constructing a testing platform for wind turbines and key components with a capacity of up to 15MW to maintain the company’s leadership in the development of offshore wind power technologies.
