Wind · Partner CRRC

The most complete wind range on the market.

Onshore for complex mountain sites, fixed-foundation offshore: from 6.25 MW to 20 MW, CRRC Zhuzhou Institute covers every site requirement with proprietary technologies developed for the European market.

Wind partner

CRRC Zhuzhou Institute — from steel to megawatts since 1959.

Founded in 1959 as the Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute under the Ministry of Railways, CRRC Zhuzhou Institute is today wholly owned by CRRC and represents a global innovation hub. An ecosystem of 13 entities, including 2 listed companies and 11 national research platforms, with 3 post-doctoral centres and 5 international R&D hubs. It produces turbines capable of adapting to the wind conditions typical of complex European sites: low temperatures, high turbulence and unstable grids.

Three-blade upwind rotor

Variable-speed configuration to maximise output across all wind regimes, designed for onshore and complex orography sites.

Pitch blade control

Active pitch control for continuous optimisation of blade angle and protection in high wind conditions.

Super Doubly-fed technology

DFIG generator with Super Doubly-fed technology for compatibility with unstable grids and enhanced grid fault ride-through (LVRT/HVRT).

Next-generation SCADA

State-of-the-art control and data acquisition system for remote monitoring, predictive maintenance and optimised production management.

Component modularity

Multiple tower solutions (tubular, lattice, concrete, sectional) and customisable hub heights to adapt to every site condition.
