ZHONGSHAN, China, March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Ming Yang
Wind Power Group Limited ("Ming
Yang" or "the Company") (NYSE: MY) today announced that its super compact
drive ("SCD") offshore wind turbine prototype of 6.5MW platform,
which is able to be expanded and developed to a series of wind
turbine generators ("WTGs") with capacity ranging from 5.0MW to 7.0
MW, began commercial trial operation in Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China in March
2015.
This cutting-edge SCD wind turbine prototype features a
two-blade design with a light weight permanent magnet generator and
is able to adapt to various extreme offshore weather conditions,
offering high reliability at a lower weight to offshore wind farm
operators, particularly in typhoon-prone regions.
"We are proud to see that the world's first SCD offshore wind turbine prototype of 6.5MW platform has been
connected to the grid and put into trial operation," commented Mr.
Chuanwei Zhang, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Ming
Yang. "Our unique model
provides our customers with a cost-effective solution for their
offshore wind farm projects in typhoon-prone coastal areas where
extreme weather conditions prevail, for example the eastern and
southern coast of China,
potentially one of the world's largest offshore markets."
Mr. Zhang continued, "Meanwhile, I am also pleased to announce
that in response to our customers needs and to meet China's complex offshore conditions,
Ming Yang is planning to develop an
innovative three-blade SCD wind turbine model, specializing in
catching low speed wind. We expect that we will be able to seize
the huge market opportunities by providing a wider product mix as
well as value-added services, as the PRC government continues to
push for renewable energy solutions in an effort to combat air
pollution."
