三峡集团公司承担了国家“十一五”科技支撑计划项目中近海风电场选址及风电机组运行、维护技术开发和近海风电机组施工、测试专用设备的研制等有关课题的研究工作，在江苏近海和潮间带建设了多台具有自主知识产权的试验风机。通过研究测风、风资源评估、基础结构、运输吊装、运行维护等海上施工关键技术，以及推动大型海上风力发电机组的研发，探索降低海上风电开发成本的措施。以海水淡化为切入点，开展风电的非并网应用研究，寻求解决风电消纳问题的新方法。

China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGPC) is now undertaking the research of offshore wind farms location, wind turbine operation, maintenance technology development, offshore wind turbine construction, development of special test equipment and other subjects related to research topics, which all belong to the National Key Science and Technology Supporting Program of China for the 11th Five-Year Plan, and CTGPC has built several wind turbines with independent intellectual property right in Jiangsu coastal and intertidal zone. CTGPC is exploring the ways to reduce the cost of offshore wind power development,such as through the research of wind measurement, wind resource assessment, foundation structure, transportation and lifting,O&M, and also by promoting the research and development of the large-scale offshore wind turbine. CTGPC is also looking for a new solution to the problem of wind power consumption, by researching of seawater desalination and application of non-grid wind power.
