At
182MW,
Rudong
is
Asia’s
largest
offshore
wind
project.
It
sits
in
a
quiet
spot
at
the
mouth
of
the
Yangtze
River,
a
few
hours’
drive
north
of
Shanghai,
in
a
county
better
known
for
its
aquaculture
than
a
high-tech
industry.
Yet
the
project
hosts
equipment
from
virtually
all
of
China’s
top
turbine
manufacturers
—
Goldwind,
Ming
Yang,
Shanghai
Electric,
Sinovel,
CSIC,
United
Power,
Sany
and
Dongfang
Electric.
It
also
has
21
of
Siemens’
2.38MW
turbines.
The
wind
farm,
built
in
phases
since
2010,
was
challenging
to
install.
Not
only
is
this
coastline
hit…
