Sany Renewable Energy has installed its self-developed onshore 15 MW wind turbine, the SI-270150, in Tongyu, Jilin Province, China. This 15 MW onshore wind turbine is developed based on the 12.X-16.X MW platform.
It has a design life of 25 to 30 years, a rotor diameter of 270 metres, and blade lengths of 131 metres, with a maximum swept area of 57,256 square metres. The SI-270150 incorporates a lightweight design and intelligent load reduction technologies, which reduce the overall load and facilitate long-distance land transportation. Its drivetrain features a dual tapered roller bearing integrated main shaft support system, ensuring high load-bearing capacity and stability. The prototype will now undergo over a year of operational testing in an experimental wind farm to thoroughly verify the reliability of its components and the complete system under real-world conditions.
