China has installed the world’s largest offshore converter station, known as the “Heart of Offshore Wind,” at the Qingzhou offshore wind farm in Yangjiang, China, with float-over installation work set to begin.
The station is the world’s first ±500 kV, 2,000 MW flexible DC offshore converter platform and plays a key role in collecting and converting electricity from 163 offshore wind turbines into power for the mainland grid. Once operational, it is expected to generate around 6 billion kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually, marking a major step in China’s offshore renewable energy expansion.
