As Europe's foremost supplier of onshore wind energy projects, WINDEY has distinguished itself as an industry trailblazer, achieving the milestone of being the first Chinese enterprise to successfully deploy WTGS in Vietnam and Serbia. Additionally, it has taken the lead in exporting wind power technology to global markets, solidifying its crucial position in the global energy transformation, bolstered by clear and convincing evidence. In today’s intricately interconnected global wind power industry and supply chain, Chinese enterprises, endowed with immense scale and technological prowess, have emerged as pivotal players, significantly elevating and enhancing the overall quality of the entire sector. Capitalizing on the auspicious occasion presented by this exhibition, WINDEY cordially extends a formal invitation to its valued global partners, fervently anticipating the prospect of collaborating with esteemed industry peers in nurturing the growth of the green economy and collectively forging a novel paradigm within the wind power sector.
Cutting-edge technologies are used to the utmost degree for “solving problems”
The continuously progressing nature of technology-driven advancements remains a central concern within the wind power sector. At present, the technology associated with the operation and maintenance management in the wind power industry is advancing towards heightened levels of intelligence and informatization. The prevalent trend is the utilization of digital technology to expedite the transformation of the energy structure. Is the maintenance of wind power equipment a challenging task? Do we often encounter delays in predicting potential faults? Are the proficiency standards for operation and maintenance personnel excessively rigorous? Thanks to the advanced technological support provided by WINDEY, numerous traditional barriers that have historically hindered the advancement of operation and maintenance management have been efficiently conquered through the provision of “pinpoint accurate responses”.
During the exhibition, WINDEY’s experts imparted invaluable insights to the audience regarding their groundbreaking digital twin technology, emphasizing the pivotal theme of “Digital Twins: The Catalyst for Wind Farms’ Allure”. By leveraging digital means to create virtual replicas of actual units and wind farms, they have achieved a precise, real-time mirroring of unit operations across a diverse range of conditions. The seamless integration of machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, and other robust toolkits has been introduced to furnish meticulous quantitative data and intelligent analytical support for the comprehensive lifecycle management of WTGS and wind farms, encompassing design, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. This approach significantly elevates the overall efficiency of wind power systems, refining the precision of decision-making and bolstering work productivity.
WINDEY’s pioneering digital twin-powered WTGS fault warning and health management system has accomplished a remarkable feat. With its extensive network spanning over 600 wind farms and encompassing more than 17,000 WTGS, the system boasts a warning accuracy rate exceeding 80%, setting a new benchmark in the industry. Furthermore, the system has proven its cost-effectiveness by successfully reducing maintenance costs by up to 15%, demonstrating tangible economic benefits for its users. This comprehensive and versatile system seamlessly integrates into various operational scenarios, providing a solid foundation for propelling high-quality development within the global wind power industry.
intelligent solutions pave the way towards a brighter future
As the transition towards clean and low-carbon energy accelerates, the concept of fostering the production of green hydrogen, the manufacturing of alcohol, and the utilization of ammonia on-site has attracted substantial public interest. At the exhibition, WINDEY unveiled a revolutionary, integrated solution that encapsulates hydrogen generation, ammonia synthesis, and alcohol production, all seamlessly fueled by renewable energy sources. This groundbreaking offering constitutes a “feasible and highly efficient means” of harnessing wind energy, and WINDEY’s innovative and all-inclusive approach has garnered widespread accolades within the industry.
Based on the research accomplishments of WINDEY in the field of smart energy storage and the evolution of “new energy plus” consumption scenarios, WINDEY experts have introduced in detail the pivotal components of the new energy hydrogen ammonia alcohol system, including wind power, energy storage, hydrogen production, and the optimization configuration of hydrogen storage capacity. They have also elaborated on the integrated collaborative control mechanisms for wind power, energy storage, and hydrogen production, alongside the intelligent communication solutions, as well as the implementation of intelligent monitoring and early warning systems. Recently, the Handan Green Methanol Project of WINDEY has been awarded China’s inaugural International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) for its environmentally friendly methanol raw materials derived from farms and plantations. This achievement serves as a significant milestone in the wind power industry’s progression towards zero-carbon emissions, demonstrating WINDEY’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
With the rapid expansion of the wind power industry’s scale and installed capacity, coupled with the heightened frequency of advancements and upgrades in wind power equipment, the occurrence of “new replacing old” has surfaced as a pivotal and inescapable challenge within the sector. In response to the escalating market demand for substituting wind power entities, the progression from small-scale to large-scale WTGS, and the management of decommissioned equipment, WINDEY’s experts have devised an all-inclusive and efficient “one-stop” solution that integrates feasibility assessments, design, sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, installation, and ongoing operation. This holistic methodology underscores WINDEY’s impressive capabilities within the wind power aftermarket service landscape, emphasizing its commitment to delivering intelligent energy solutions throughout the entire life cycle.
The remarkable debut of WINDEY at the WindEnergy Hamburg 2024 has not only enriched the narrative of Chinese enterprises embracing globalization by adding a substantial dimension, but it has also paved the way for innovative avenues of collaboration and expansion within the global wind energy sector. In the forthcoming era, WINDEY remains steadfastly dedicated to pioneering the innovation and progression within the wind energy industry, thereby further augmenting its substantial contributions to the global shift towards green and low-carbon energy, as well as to endeavors aimed at preserving our environment.
