Combined with the construction of single pile foundation in overseas offshore wind farms, the geological and geomorphological conditions in the shallow water area in China are compared in this paper. The results show that single pile foundation is better than other types of foundation, which is more suitable for the wind power development in the shallow water area in China. Based on the construction experience of single pile foundation at the second stage of Rudong wind farm in Jiangsu Province, the feasibility and applicability of single pile foundation in the offshore wind power construction in China are discussed. Based on the load analysis, the design method, the manufacture ability of pile foundation, the comprehensive analysis of construction scheme, the feasibility of this type foundation applied in China is also discussed, which could provide references for future large-scale offshore wind power construction in China.
