Engineering machinery and equipment to move closer to wind power

According to statistics, the cumulative installed capacity of global wind power in 2013 exceeded 300 million kilowatts, reaching 31.81 million kilowatts, up 12.5% ​​year-on-year. Steve Sawyer, Secretary-General of the Global Wind Energy Council, said that a number of new markets are emerging in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The US's installed capacity will also be back on track in 2014. Therefore, the outlook of the wind power industry is unanimously optimistic about the industry.

Perhaps the current slump in the construction machinery industry has caused production companies to expand their product lines. Perhaps everyone has seen a vast market in the new energy industry. More and more companies are moving closer to wind power to tailor products and equipment.

Among the whole machine companies, the all-terrain cranes of XCMG, Zoomlion, and Taiyuan Heavy Industries have undoubtedly become pioneers and successful models in the field of wind power.

All along, Xugong’s heavy wind power cranes have repeatedly appeared in the wind power industry. From the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the Hetao Plain, XCMG equipment is always on the map. According to a construction safety engineer surnamed Wang of Guiyang Wind Farm, most wind turbines are located in hills or coastal areas, and most of the roads in this area are rough. Usually cranes need loaders to reach the next work surface. A large part of the time is spent on the transition and assembly of the crane. And XCMG 650 tons of all-terrain cranes do not require loaders to drag and drop, so they can smoothly transition, which can further improve work efficiency and greatly shorten the construction period.

Luo Xianzhi, head of the large-tonnage crane crane product research institute of Zoomlion Engineering Crane Co., Ltd., said that the oversized tonnage wheeled cranes are first aimed at the wind power market, especially wind power equipment of more than 2.5MW. Since the success of the 800-ton all-terrain crane in the wind power lifting market, Zoomlion’s 2,000-ton model test is also considered in this section. For example, in the test nodes such as the chassis, steering, and tops, the largest performance hoisting test, wind and electrician Condition hoisting test and maximum load condition simulation are more meaningful. The equipment needs to reach 6,000 tons of working conditions, and can lift a 3MW fan, you need to have a strong lifting capacity, QAY2000 this type completely satisfied.

Among the accessories companies, Zhaxi was the first to develop the wind power bearing business and achieved a good year-on-year growth in sales revenue. After many years of efforts, the Wazhou Group has maintained cooperation with world-class large customers and large groups, and has now formed series and scale. Representative products 2.3MW onshore wind turbines, 2.3MW offshore wind turbine supporting pitch, yaw bearings, wind power drive reducer and sugar reducer reducer series products, all achieve stable batch supply.

It is not uncommon for construction machinery companies to transform into agricultural machinery. Now we have discovered that the tendency to move closer to wind power has also become increasingly evident.
