China's first low wind speed wind turbine was successfully developed

As people's awareness of environmental protection continues to increase, the development of green energy has also received more and more attention. Recently, China's first low-wind-speed wind turbine has been successfully developed by China South Locomotive Zhuzhou Electric Co., Ltd. The generator is suitable for 2 megawatts of wind power with a wind speed of less than 7 meters per second.

For a long time, China’s large-scale wind power equipment can only use high-speed wind energy resources in remote and high altitude areas. “Difficulties in grid connection” and “transportation difficulties” have become the “bottleneck” that restricts the wind power industry. With the advent of low-speed wind turbines with a capacity of 2 megawatts, the economic resources of eastern China, South China, and China, which are economically developed, densely populated, and consume large amounts of electricity, account for more than 68% of China's total area. Energy development and environmental protection and emission reduction are of great significance.

CSR Zhuzhou Electric Co., Ltd. announced on the 15th that it has successfully developed China's first low-speed wind turbine with a wind speed of less than 7 meters per second. The advent of this high-power wind power generation equipment will “activate” wind energy resources in central and southeastern China.

Zhu Jianfei, spokesperson of CSR Zhuzhou Electric Co., Ltd., introduced that after scientific research, the researchers designed and produced a power of 2 megawatts using new gear transmission, light weight, high insulation class, low open circuit voltage and other technologies. Low wind speed wind generators. This equipment can operate at low wind speeds of less than 7 meters per second and generate electricity. It will be used first in the wind farm in Hunan and start mass production.
