Mingyang Wind PowerOn April 28th, Mingyang Wind Power finished the installation of its typhoon resistant wind turbine, the MySE5.5-155.

The MySE 5.5-7.0MW platform series model is the key product of Mingyang Intelligent’s own technology. At present, the whole system has obtained the design certification issued by China Certification Authority (CGC), and the core components such as blades and aerospace gearboxes have obtained CGC and DNV-GL certification. The turbine's blade length is 76.6m and sweeping area is nearly 20,000m2.

Based on the advantages of the gear box and generator efficiency of the semi-direct drive unit, the company state the efficiency of the transmission chain of the unit is more than 97%.

The unit adopts a modular design and consists of four modules: an impeller system, a gear box, a generator and a cabin system. The key components are connected by concentric flanges to minimise component maintenance. The gearbox technology, as well as the aerospace gearbox technology, ensure genetically high product reliability.
