A megawatt-level VSCF wind power generator, developed by the Shenyang Industry University, was successfully connected to the local power grids on July 31, 2005, after being installed at the Liaoning Xianrendao Wind Mill on 23 of the same month. The system?痵 major components, including vanes, gear box, generator, and controller, are all Chinese designed and manufactured. With a localization rate above 85%, the system is able to produce an output of 1,000 kilowatts. Designed with a vane of 60.62m across, a height of 91.76m, and a weight of 138 tons, the generator will go through a 2000-hour test run in three phases to verify security performance, designed functions, and parameter indicators.
Two megawatt VSCF wind power generators that can be driven either in varied speeds or directly are being readjusted for a trial operation. The development marks a raised technical level of China?痵 energy equipment manufacturing. It provides a mainstream wind generator for the commercial applications of wind mills during the 11th Five-year period(2006-2010), and for realizing a 4-million-kilowatt installed win power capacity by 2010. |
