SHANGHAI, March 18, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
XCMG's (SHE:000425) 1,000-ton crawler crane, XGC15000A, has set a new world
record after completing its first single-arm wind power hoisting operation at a
height of 172+12 meters for the Jinjiaozhou wind power farm in Qingdao, China.
Weighing in at 118 tons the 4.5MW wind power turbine hoisted to a height of 170
meters with the diameter of the impeller reaching 156 meters. It adopts the
world-leading prestressed fatigue resistant framed steel pipe wind power tower
that greatly increases the height of the wind turbine when compared with the
common 120-140 meters flexible tower in the industry, which better utilizes
wind resources and increases power generation efficiency. However, the higher
installation height posed greater challenges for the crawler crane.
The flat and open project site usually experiences strong wind greater than
level 5, and the fully prepared construction team quickly completed the
operation during a short "wind-free" time window, thanks to the powerful and
stable performance of the XGC15000A.
"The tower height at this wind farm will reach 180 meters or even above 200
meters, and facing these challenges, we found that XCMG had already taken
everything into consideration. We believe XCMG can fully meet our needs in the
future," noted Di Caijin, who was responsible for the on-site hoisting
operation.
The successful installation makes the XGC15000A the world's first wind power
crawler crane to achieve a hoisting height of 170 meters. China has pledged to
reach carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, and according to the
latest analysis from Wood Mackenzie, the country is expected to reach 700GW of
cumulative connected wind capacity by 2030 and annual wind and photovoltaic
installed capacity needs will reach 100- to 200 million kilowatts, which calls
for more wind power projects to be developed at lower costs.
In February, XCMG delivered China's largest tonnage wind power reach stacker,
XCS70S, which was co-developed and customized by XCMG and CRRC Zhuzhou
Institute Wind Power Business Unit. With a rated load of 70 tons, the product
has a much broader range of applications and was designed for the hoisting
operations of large-scale wind turbines and equipment. It is equipped with
exclusive spreaders that increase hoisting and handling efficiency three-fold.
