We need to evaluate whether it is possible based on economics and feasibility.
1: Economic considerations
It is necessary to evaluate the wind resources in the target area. It is generally believed that the annual average wind speed reaches 6m/s to have development value. In addition, tropical cyclones are active in the South China Sea, which requires an assessment of their risks.
The construction cost of offshore wind turbines is relatively high.
The South China Sea is far away and operation and maintenance will face huge difficulties.
2: Technical feasibility
There is currently no technical difficulty in building wind turbine foundations on islands or reefs.
Hoisting and construction can refer to the practices in the intertidal zone.
When selecting grid-connected wind turbines, you need to consider forming a microgrid with other power sources. Off-grid fans should be the product of choice.
When selecting wind turbine capacity, the islands in the South China Sea are far away from the load center, so the consumption of electric energy is a factor that must be considered.
The conclusion is:
It is definitely possible to install it, but whether it can be used and used well needs to be carefully considered.
