Classification Society (CCS) has recently issued China’s first offshore
facility product inspection certificate for an offshore energy storage system.
The system is intended for installation on the Lufeng 14-4DPP platform, where
it will provide energy storage support for the “CNOOC Anlan” – the world’s
first 16？MW tension？leg floating wind power platform.

Project
Significance and Inspection Approach
This project marks the first application of a large？scale energy storage system
on an offshore oil and gas production platform. Recognising its significance, CCS
placed high priority on the work. In line with CCS’s applicable rules and
relevant national standards, CCS convened in？depth discussions among key
technical staff to thoroughly review inspection requirements covering equipment
certification, structural fire protection, fire safety, battery safety, and
electrical performance, and developed a detailed inspection plan.
To ensure the
quality of the product inspection, CCS agreed with the client to certify the
system in accordance with the requirements for Class A equipment as specified
in the Safety Rules for Fixed Offshore Platforms (2000). A
comprehensive inspection schedule was established, with each milestone being
verified against the relevant standards to confirm that product quality met all
specified requirements.
Knowledge
Building and Future Impact
While fulfilling the inspection tasks, CCS also conducted a systematic review
and consolidation of inspection techniques for offshore energy storage
facilities and similar equipment. This effort has resulted in replicable and
scalable inspection practices that will serve as a valuable technical reference
for future projects of this nature.
