Led by PowerChina ZhongNan Engineering Corporation Limited, the Shandong Energy Group Bozhong offshore wind farm site A stands as China’s largest digital offshore wind farm. The project was completed and reached full grid-connected power generation in the same year it was planned, delivering 1.7 billion kilowatt-hours of green energy annually.

Facing a tight schedule, complex marine conditions, and coordination challenges, PowerChina used a digital twin to simulate real-world scenarios, streamlining the construction, operation, and maintenance processes. Bentley’s suite of digital tools including OpenPlant, PLAXIS, and ProjectWise supported this data-driven approach, optimizing the offshore booster station design, submarine cable routing, and onshore control center. This advanced digital integration boosted project efficiency by 30%, reduced construction time by 20%, and cut costs by 10%, ultimately preventing 1.25 million tons of CO₂ emissions yearly. PowerChina’s digital innovation demonstrates a transformative leap in renewable energy, setting a new standard for efficient, sustainable wind power generation.
