Blade length, size, and weight have significantly grown as wind turbine manufacturers attempt to collect more energy with each turbine. Additionally, because of noise restrictions, the blade tip speed of very big turbines is often limited to less than 20 rpm.
ut the generator is powered by hub rotation. Due to its much improved rigidity and tensile characteristics compared to fibreglass, carbon fibre has long been recognised as having advantages for lowering the mass of wind turbine blades.
The main shaft, also known as the low-speed shaft, is a drive shaft that is attached to the rotor on one side and the gearbox (in turbines with gear boxes) or the generator (direct drive, without gearbox) on the other.
The global carbon fiber wind turbine drive shaft market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
At a symposium where the top figures in China's wind power business were invited to discuss ways to cut carbon emissions, Shanghai Electric (Shanghai, China) unveiled its newest offshore wind turbine model, the Petrel platform SEW11.0-208 with 102-meter carbon fibre wind blades.
Shanghai Electric's flagship direct-drive turbine, for which the company has full proprietary intellectual property, has a nameplate capacity of 11 megawatts (MW), making it the largest of its kind in Asia. This represents another step forward in the company's offshore innovation pathway and a breakthrough for Chinese domestic innovation in offshore wind technology.
The Shanghai Electric SEW11.0-208 offshore wind turbine is the first to fully utilise the capabilities of the company's self-developed Petrel platform, which is capable of withstanding extremes in temperature, humidity, and salt as well as complex and varying marine environments like earthquakes and typhoons.
SEW11.0-208 is an expansion of Shanghai Electric's efforts to establish wind energy as a leading source of energy against the backdrop of China's carbon neutrality objectives. It is a highly affordable direct-drive wind power product that can maintain high power-generation efficiency and a low failure rate in both routine and typhoon sea areas.
The SEW 11.0-208 is stated to use Shanghai Electric's most recent LeapX control system, which employs full-cycle digital design, manufacture, and O&M management, to lower operating load and increase the operating stability of the device.
Shanghai Electric's Fengyun technology, a cloud-based remote administration platform, supercharges the fully digital turbine to increase operational effectiveness and profitability for developers. Additionally, the turbine's S102 102-metre carbon fibre blades, which the business.
independently designed and released in September 2021, are said to be the longest produced in China and are suited for usage in Category I typhoon locations on the sea.
