Project Short Description

The China Pilot program is dedicated to driving greener technological innovation and fostering multilateral international cooperation in the field of renewable energy. By doing so, it aims to further advance the global adoption and development of sustainable energy solutions. With a primary focus on offshore wind power and photovoltaic systems, the program undertakes the implementation and testing of various renewable energy technologies. 


This section provides an overview of the key tasks and objectives of the China Pilot program.

1) Design, simulation and optimization of large-scale offshore wind power as well as testing platform.

2) Design, simulation and optimization of novel photovoltaic technologies as well as field testing platform.

3) Design, control and stability of novel DC power system for offshore renewables as well as testing platform.

4) Power generation performance monitoring and environmental and ecological impact monitoring of large-scale offshore wind and photovoltaic system.

5) GPFM Internet-based Platform.

Innovation Highlights

LONGi Green Energy has released new high-efficiency back-contact crystalline silicon cell and module product (Hi-MO 9) in Madrid, Spain on May 7, 2024. Hi-MO 9 modules combine a variety of advanced technologies with core advantages such as higher power generation capacity, lower BOS cost and higher reliability, with a max solar photovoltaic conversion efficiency (internal test) of more than 27%, a maximum power of 660W, and a module conversion efficiency of up to 24.43%.


Goldwind has developed and built the first large-scale wind turbine six-degree-of-freedom test bench in China, filling the gap in the industry. Promote the development of new technologies, accelerate design iteration and optimization, and provide guarantee for the high-quality development of the industry.

Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IEECAS) has designed the world’s first technical verification platform for offshore DC system, which is in the high power laboratory of IEECAS, Beijing. The DC voltage range of the platform is ±5kV~±30kV and the rated power is 500kW. The key technologies include reliable operation control strategy with a wide voltage range, multi-objective optimization of topology and control parameters under complex constraints, and multi-level and efficient coupling simulation technology of the platform. IEECAS also has developed the SiC MOSFET based DC/DC converter. The rated power of the unit is 500kW and the rated output voltage is ±10kV. The measured max. efficiency of the unit is 99.6%.



IEECAS has set up a two-site online monitoring platform which could provide seven water quality parameters (including water temperature, pH, ammonia nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll, and conductivity) with a transmission frequency of 0.5 h/time for the Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) power station. At present, more than 2,800 data items have been received, and an empirical database on the impact of FPV on the water environment has been initially constructed.
