OPERATIONAL PROJECTS

Jiangxia Tidal Power Plant was built in 1980 and is owned by China Longyuan Power Group Co., affiliated to China Guodian Corporation since 2003. Jiangxia station is the largest tidal power station in China. There are totally 6 bulb turbines of 3 types, and the installed capacity is 3.9 MW. In the support of the 3rd round of SFPMRE in 2012, the upgrading project (from 3.9 MW to 4.1 MW) is ongoing; the new turbine would be assembled in the beginning of 2015.

Jiangxia Tidal Power Plant has operated well for more than 30 years. The successful operation of the Jiangxia Tidal Power Plant has proven that the reasonable planning of the tidal power plant will not cause serious siltation of the cove, nor have a significant environmental impact on local marine ecological environment.

Zhaitang Island Hybrid Power Station has been in operation since June 2013 and provided electricity for residents on Zhaitang Island. There are 300 kW tidal turbines, 150 kW wind turbines and 60 kW solar panels totally. Haineng II (2×100 kW) floating TEC (by HEU) was retrieved for the crack of blades, Haiyuan (2×50 kW) fixed TEC (by OUC) was retrieved for leakage problems.

 

PLANNED DEPLOYMENTS

Shengshan Island Hybrid Power Station: will provide electricity and fresh water for residents on Shengshan Island. In total, there are 300 kW wave energy converters (FLB), 150 kW wind turbines, 50 kW bioenergy device and 25 kW solar heat panels. FLB (3×100 kW) has been assembled.

Wanshan Island Hybrid Power Station: includes 300 kW WEC and 200 kW wind turbines. The controlling room has been built and the wind turbines have been installed. The ½ scale prototype for the 100 kW WEC (Sharp Eagle) has been tested and the model test of full scale prototype has been completed.
