China He has a plan to mine the ocean. It’s about much more than energy. Now they have created a new way of life. The Asian country is no longer just satisfied with building the largest offshore wind turbines. These projects are one of the best alternatives for creating clean energy currently. Offshore wind energy is a source of production energy using the power of offshore wind energy to generate electricity.
The wind in particular creates the propellers of the windmills kinetic energy which is converted into electricity via a direct current wind turbine. This current becomes alternating current and the voltage is increased through a transformer to transport it to the electrical substation, which is eventually distributed to homes and industries. The energy production capacity of these turbines changes depending on their height and size.
The most important of the sea breeze right now that’s the one renewable energy sourcewhich can significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels. This characteristic is essential to achieve global goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming.
China is going for much more than energy: it has a plan to extract it from the ocean
Wind farms already fulfill an essential function for the production of renewable energybut Beijing wants them to contribute something much more important: the ability to do so raise thousands of fish. Mingyang energya Chinese company specialized in wind turbines, suggested the possibility of making offshore installations much more profitable. It has achieved this with a method that makes wind energy compatible with fish farming.
Two universes as far apart as production renewable and fish farming, now they shake hands. To reach this point, the entity has designed the “world’s first hybrid jacket and net cage system for fish farming”, a system to which it has given the name MyAC-JS05. It consists of a large cage in the lower part of the windmills. Its function is to house fish.
When presenting the initiative, the brand calculated that this space would be large enough to ‘store’ 5,000 cubic meters of water and thousands of fish. The company said publicly that this environment “ensures a safe breeding environment for thousands of deep-sea fish. With an estimated annual production of 75 tons of fish, this project has the potential to generate an additional income of RMB 5 million.”
China generates energy and also farms fish: something that has never been seen in the sea
When presenting his design, he announced that his goal was to test it in the offshore wind farm at the end of this year Mingyang Qingzhou 4. At the beginning of July last year, it completed production of its first system to install it in one of its turbines as a pilot test. offshore MySE 12-242a model that Mingyang It premiered just a few months ago.
As announced by the company, the chosen site for the test would be the offshore wind farm Mingyang Qingzhou 4with 500 MW, located approximately 62 m from the coast of Yangjiang, Guangdong. The newspaper was published in August this year Global times reported that the company had successfully completed the development of equipment to combine the use of wind turbines with fish farming.
In this way, the Asian giant managed to deliver his maritime windmills to the next level, beyond creating energy. Meanwhile, Spain is receiving proposals from environmental organizations regarding offshore wind energy for its deployment.
