National Wind Development Centre (FUJIN)

该项目旨在解决可再生能源市场在测试大型设备(如海上风电变速箱、驱动列车和发电机)方面的缺口。该项目将帮助东北地区继续在可再生能源市场吸引大量企业投资，并补充当地供应链中重要的制造和研发机会。该项目将支持设计、管理和建造一座专门的建筑，以容纳可再生能源市场(特别是海上风能)的大型测试基础设施。这样的设施将有助于加快英国政府的重大举措，如能源技术研究所(Ell)的离岸风力发电计划，该计划将投资于世界级测试基础设施，以便在英国市场快速部署大规模设备。通过与ETI的正式讨论，One东北和NAREC已原则上获得承诺，将提供资本资金，以支持采购将用于该设施的专门设备。这项投资将有助于NaREC继续取得成功，并有能力为能源业提供世界级的尖端设施，使工业界和本地学术界都受益。主要制造商对利用这一设施并将投资复制到东北地区非常感兴趣，例如通过Clipper Wind Power获得的投资。此外，这将真正使东北(英国)成为全球市场上海上风能技术开发的主要枢纽，并为能源供应的整体安全和气候变化议程做出重大贡献。

This project seeks to address a gap in the renewable energy marketfor the testing of large scale devices such as offshore wind gearboxes, drive trains and generators. It will assist the North East incontinuing to attract major corporate investment in the renewableenergy market and complement significant manufacturing and R&Dopportunities in the local supply chain.This project will support the design, management and build of aspecialised building to house large scale test infrastructure for therenewable energy market; particularly offshore wind energy. Such afacility will help accelerate major UK Government initiatives such asthe Energy Technologies Institute's (Ell) Offshore Wind Programmethat will invest in world class test infrastructure for the rapiddeployment of large scale devices in the UK market. Through formaldiscussions with the ETI, One NorthEast and NaREC have received acommitment in principle that capital funding will be available tosupport the procurement of specialised equipment to be utilised inthis facility.The investment will assist in the continued success of NaREC and itsability to offer the energy industry world-class leading edge facilitiesthat benefit both industry and local academia. There is considerableinterest from major manufacturers to utilise such a facility andreplicate investment into the North East such as that securedthrough Clipper Wind Power.Further, it will truly establish the North East (UK) as a major hub foroffshore wind technology development in the global market placeand contribute significantly to the overall security of supply andclimate change agenda in relation to energy.
