At 14:30 on June 28th, with the successful hoisting and application of the world’s first 16MW offshore wind turbine in the Beibu Gulf waters of Three Gorges Group in Fujian, it marks a major breakthrough for high-power generators produced by Goldwind Technology, achieving 100% localization of core components.
Yaw calipers are important components of wind turbines. Our V20 model -16MW calipers, developed in deep cooperation with Goldwind Technology, have advanced braking performance in China and can provide strong technical support for the large-scale and batch application of high-power offshore wind turbines in the future.
In order to solve the problems of noise and performance caused by yaw calipers over the years, our company has hired experts to introduce talents and established the Henan Province Wind Turbine Friction Material Engineering Technology Research Center. After years of research and repeated experiments, significant breakthroughs have been made, and friction pads with high specific pressure, stable friction, low loss, not easy to break, low noise, and self-lubricating advantages and unique technologies have been developed. The performance exceeds that of similar domestic products. By optimizing the braking torque, electro-hydraulic ratio, and performance of friction pads and other components, significant technological breakthroughs have been made in friction materials for high-power wind turbines in China, realizing the industrialization and localization of offshore wind power equipment manufacturing and promoting the sustainable development of China’s offshore wind power industry.
