海上风力发电厂，是利用海上风力资源发电的新型发电厂。在石油资源形势日益严峻的情况下，各国均将眼光投向了风力资源巨大的海域，欧洲多个国家已建立了多个海上风力发电厂而且规模巨大。中国也逐渐涉及海上风力发电领域，上海的海上风力发电厂2010年启用，香港欲建全球最大海上风力发电厂。

Marine/offshore wind power plant is a new type of power plant using wind resources on oceans.

In the increasingly severe situation of petroleum resources, every nation has put their focus on the ocean area with huge wind resources. A number of large-scale offshore wind power plants have been built in several European countries.

China has also been gradually engaged in the field of marine wind power, and Shanghai's offshore wind power plant was operated in 2010.

世界上已经有海上风电场和正在开发中的国家包括英国、德国、瑞典、法国和中国等。在海上风电场的建设方面，德国的规划可谓气势宏伟，累计安装容量排名第一，称得上是欧洲地区的主阵地。丹麦在风力发电领域占有领导地位，丹麦有世界上最大的海上风电厂。

Countries in the world who have already built or are developing marine wind power plants include Britain, Germany, Sweden, France, China, etc.

In terms of marine wind farm construction, Germany's planning is magnificent, its cumulative installed capacity ranks number one in the world, and Germany can be deemed as the leader of marine wind farms in Europe, but Denmark has a leading position in the field of wind power generation and has the largest offshore wind power plant in the world.

中国发展状况Developing marine wind farms in China

在世界海上风电开始进入大规模开发阶段的背景下，中国海上风电场建设也拉开了序幕。在海上风电方面，中国东部沿海的海上可开发风能资源约达7.5亿千瓦，不仅资源潜力巨大且开发利用市场条件良好，只是由于中国沿海经常受到台风影响，建设条件较国外更为复杂。

Under the background that the world's offshore wind power began to enter the stage of large-scale development, the construction of China's marine wind farm has also begun.

The potential exploitable wind energy resources on the east coast of China are about 750 million kilowatts, these are not only huge resources, but also excellent market for development and utilization. However, the coastal areas of China are often affected by typhoons, the construction conditions are more complicated than those in foreign countries.

2004 年，广东南澳投资的海上2万千瓦风电场项目，是中国首个海上风电场建设项目。

In 2004, the 20MW marine wind farm project in Nan'ao county in Guangdong province is the first offshore wind farm construction project in China.
