Shanghai Electric's EW8.X-230 Recognized One of the Top 10 Offshore Turbines of the Year 2022 by Wind Power Monthly

Shanghai Electric has announced that the company's EW8.X-230 wind turbine generator has been named one of the Top 10 Offshore Turbines of the Year 2022, according to the latest report by Wind Power Monthly.

The accolade came after Shanghai Electric's EW8.X-230, the company's next-gen offshore turbine based on the Poseidon platform, was recognized as one of the most innovative products by China's Top 50 turbine manufacturers in September 2022.

Developed by Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group Co., Ltd., EW8.5-230 is the company's latest semi-direct drive wind turbine targeting China's coastal areas with medium and low wind speeds.

The generator is equipped with 100-meter carbon fiber blades and intelligent Sensor Roller technology, and adopts digitized design, production and O&M across its entire lifecycle. The newest LeapX control system reduces the operational load of the generator while establishing an intelligent interconnection with Shanghai Electric's Fengyun (iWind) system.

Designed to operate with high reliability and stability in low-speed wind conditions, the generator is a highly cost-effective solution for wind energy.

With its cutting-edge technology and advanced design, the EW8.X-230 is poised to set a new standard in the offshore wind energy industry, going a long way toward enabling China to meet the targets of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality as it strives to achieve offshore parity.

The generator achieves a greater yield while maintaining exceptional reliability, thanks to its highly integrated new-generation semi-direct drive chain technology.
