The answer to time丨 The extreme survival record of the wind turbine in the "forbidden area of life"

Located in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, Hami's thirteen-room "Baili Wind Area" is a rare extreme wind area in the country. In the past, the continuous winds of all seasons, combined with the high temperature of more than 40°C in summer and endless sand and dust, made the area once regarded as a "forbidden area for life". Today, a white "wind turbine forest" has grown here, and a typhoon has broken through the "test of life and death", transforming the raging wind into green electricity that lights up thousands of homes.

"A wind farm with an installed capacity of 50,000 kilowatts, such a high annual power generation, is rare not only in Xinjiang but also in the country." Yang Zengliang, director of the Thirteen Rooms Senze Wind Farm of Jingneng International, said in an interview.

The Senze Wind Power Site is located in the core belt of the 13-room "Baili Wind District" in Hami, with a total installed capacity of 50MW, using 10 Sany Renewable Energy 5MW wind turbines, and will be connected to the grid at full capacity in April 2023. In the past two years of operation, Senze Wind Farm has broken through the limits of survival and added a touch of "new green" to the vast Gobi with modern technology.

In 2024, the wind farm will generate more than 3,200 hours of power per year, with a utilization rate of more than 99.9%, and an annual power generation capacity of 162 million kWh, far exceeding the planned power generation, ranking first in the northwest region of Jingneng International in terms of overall performance.

How did this wind farm achieve the "rare in the country" power generation performance?

"If a wind farm wants to obtain high power generation, first of all, the wind resources must be good, then the wind turbine equipment must be reliable, and secondly, the maintenance and management are in place. This wind farm has done all four aspects. Yang Zengliang said the successful method of "top students".

Success depends on heaven, and planning depends on people. "The surface temperature of Hami in summer exceeds 50 °C, and the temperature in winter can reach minus twenty or thirty degrees. Yang Zengliang fully affirmed the reliability of Sany Renewable Energy Fan.

If you dig deeper, you will find that Senze Wind Farm is still calm in the face of harsh working conditions, which actually comes from Sany Renewable Energy's insistence on paying equal attention to technological innovation and in-depth verification for many years, fully ensuring the design margin, and refusing to step on the "stubbornness" of qualified line manufacturing products.

Work together and cooperate sincerely. Wang Yihu, head of the on-site operation and maintenance team of Sany Renewable Energy, introduced that Jingneng International has a scientific and mature wind farm operation and management method, and the operation and maintenance team maintains close communication and cooperation with customers, responds to needs as soon as possible, and jointly escorts the highly reliable operation of wind turbines.

One afternoon in March, light snow drifted in the biting cold wind in Hami, and Wang Yihu's mobile phone received a reminder that the wind farm was about to usher in extreme wind speeds of up to 40 m/s. Wang Yihu immediately led the team to the central control room of the wind farm and responded with the Jingneng team. At this time, the visual screen shows that one of the 10 fans has not automatically entered the self-protecting anti-vortex state. An hour later is the predicted time of extreme wind speed, which is very limited. Wang Yihu led the team to drive to the fan immediately, carried out investigations one by one, and finally successfully found the crux with the remote support of the technical team of the Beijing headquarters, and the fan also successfully entered the state of anti-vortex turbing. The professionalism of the on-site team was also highly appreciated by Jingneng International.

"Timely response, professional responsibility, and strong awareness of active operation and maintenance." This is Yang Zengliang's evaluation of the Sany on-site operation and maintenance team.

Now, when the north wind roars again and sweeps through the vast Gobi and passes through every wind turbine, it is no longer just sand and dust in the sky, but the green kinetic energy that drives the high-quality development of the northwest frontier.
