On October 18, during the Beijing International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition, 2023 Germany Beckhoff Wind Power Day and New product technology Exchange meeting and customer appreciation Dinner were successfully held in Beijing. Industry experts, engineers and representatives from Goldwind Technology, Yunda Energy Technology, Mingyang Smart Energy Source, Guoneng United Power, Sany Heavy Energy, Sinovel Wind Power, Haldian Wind Power and many other machine manufacturers, as well as representatives of power generation groups and wind power system integration partners gathered together. We will discuss the infinite possibilities of China’s wind power application technology and how to promote the sustainable development of China’s wind power industry.

In 2023, the newly installed capacity of wind power in China is picking up, the trend of large-scale unit is continuing, and the model replacement speed is accelerating. The 10 MW onshore wind turbine has been completed, the 16 MW offshore wind turbine has been connected to the grid for power generation, and the 18 MW model has been offline. The competition in the industrial chain is still fierce, and the price of fans is still maintained at a low level. How to reduce system cost while maintaining product quality is a challenge that the wind power industry must face. Befo is committed to technological innovation and product development in the field of wind power, and always insists on helping customers reduce system costs through technological innovation.

At this technical exchange, the participants fully experienced the great innovation potential of Beckhoff’s PC-based control technology in the wind power industry: Dirk Kordtomeikel, Manager of Beckford’s global wind power industry from Beckford’s German headquarters, presented the modular intelligent deviation solution of the AMP8000 drive system; Andreas Frank, Befo’s global wind project management expert, introduces the application of MX-System, a control cabinet automation solution, in the field of wind power generation; Dr. Hua Changsheng, Manager of Data Science and Engineering at Befo China, introduced the application of machine learning in wind speed and direction prediction. Beckhoff’s flexible and highly integrated control solutions, combined with big data and artificial intelligence technologies, enable the whole process of operation from fan operation management, pitch control, flow control, yaw control and braking control to wind farm intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance, helping to improve equipment utilization and maintenance efficiency, laying a solid foundation for wind power control unit management.

In the laughter, the appreciation dinner for Germany Beckhoff 2023 wind power Day activities drew a successful end, but this does not represent the end, but a new starting point. As Wang Ningqiang, Manager of Wind Power Industry at Beckford China, said in his speech:

The development of China’s wind power industry needs the joint efforts of the majority of practitioners, and we are very grateful to the majority of users for their high attention and strong support for Beckhoff’s products and services. Beckhoff will continue to use its 20 years of proven expertise and proven system advantages in more than 100,000 wind turbines worldwide to work with Chinese wind power customers to enable the resonance of installed capacity growth and technological innovation.
