The core module of the world's first offshore wind power hydrogen production project was successfully hoisted

Recently, the core module of the world's first offshore wind power hydrogen production project, which was built by the general contractor of Czech New Energy for Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School, was successfully hoisted and installed at the offshore wind farm in Zhuhai, Guangdong. The offshore installation and functional connection between modules are being carried out intensively. This hoisting is to hoist the 4 container modules (including equipment) + hydrogen storage skids and related auxiliary equipment and materials on the barge to the corresponding position of the offshore platform by a special sea crane and install and fix them. Container 1#: The main equipment in the container is electrical equipment: DCS control box, rectifier cabinet, compensation cabinet, transformer, and electric control cabinet; Container 2#: The container mainly contains hydrogen production equipment including electrolyzer, gas-liquid separation frame equipment, purification frame and interconnected pipelines; Container 3#: The container mainly contains seawater desalination related equipment including seawater desalination device, water replenishment pump, water/alkali tank; Container 4#: The container mainly contains hydrogen compressor, air compressor, seawater pump, fresh water pump, and hydrogen buffer tank; Hydrogen storage skid: It is mainly composed of multiple hydrogen storage cylinders with a pressure of more than 350 kg, which are integrated into a skid and undertake the function of hydrogen storage for offshore wind power generation.

Offshore hoisting cannot be separated from the close cooperation of Tsinghua University, China Southern Power Grid and the offshore hoisting operator. It also requires expert group demonstration in advance, risk analysis meeting to analyze risks and countermeasures, maritime authorities to report and approve, and prepare tugboats, anchor boats, transport ships, transportation boats and other equipment to cooperate with the hoisting operation. Offshore hoisting is easily affected by wind and waves. After monitoring the weather and wind and wave conditions in the sea area for many days, the project team finally selected June 6 for offshore hoisting operations. The calm sea on that day provided a very critical time window for the successful completion of this hoisting. At the same time, the project team responsible for the on-site hoisting operation also faced the problem of small equipment installation space reserved on the original wind turbine platform and the space impact of the platform diagonal support, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of hoisting. However, the on-site hoisting operation team was not intimidated by the actual difficulties, but chose to face the difficulties head-on, fully demonstrating the Czech spirit of unity and hard work, and fearlessness of hardships. After a day of intense work, the hoisting work was successfully completed, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent offshore hydrogen production!
