On March 16, 2026, on the edge of Tengger Desert in Gansu Province, the whistling wind blew up fine sand and beat the clothes of the exploration team. On this day, thousands of miles away in Changsha, CRRC ZHUZHOU LOCOMOTIVE CO., LTD received good news of winning the bid - successfully winning the 300000 kilowatt wind power project in Jinchuan District, Jinchang City for 486 million yuan. This desert, which has been ravaged by sandstorms all year round, is about to erect 48 6.25-megawatt wind turbines to convert the raging winds into green energy that lights up thousands of homes.

48 units advance into the desert

The project is located in Jinchuan District, Jinchang City, Gansu Province, with a total installed capacity of 300 megawatts. It plans to install 48 wind turbines with a single capacity of 6.25 megawatts, all of which will be designed with steel towers. CRRC ZHOU LOCOMOTIVE CO., LTD has successfully won the bid in the fierce market competition with its excellent technical strength and product reliability, providing core equipment support for the construction of desert wind power bases.

Rigorous environmental testing technology

Desert areas have high wind and sand, high temperature differences, and harsh environments, which place extremely high demands on the adaptability of wind turbines. The unit that won the bid this time has strong wind and sand resistance and environmental tolerance, and can operate stably in the deep desert for a long time, ensuring the power generation efficiency of the project throughout its entire life cycle. It has accumulated valuable experience for wind power development in similar extreme environments. Keywords: New Energy News Network, Wind Power Infrastructure
