Client Background & Challenges
The client is a top national energy investment enterprise in Saudi Arabia, responsible for developing large-scale new energy projects to achieve the country’s 2030 green energy transition goals.
The local project area faces harsh natural conditions:
1. Extreme high temperature (up to 50℃ in summer), strong sand and wind, conventional wind turbines are prone to aging and failure;
2. Complex wind speed distribution, low average wind speed in partial areas, requiring turbines to start power generation at low wind speed;
3. Strict grid access standards, requiring stable output and intelligent grid-connected regulation of wind power;
4. Large-scale equipment logistics and installation in desert areas, with high requirements for transportation adaptability and after-sales operation and maintenance.
Our Custom Wind Energy Solution
We provided a targeted customized wind power overall solution for the Saudi desert wind farm:
1. Adopted high-temperature resistant and sand-proof optimized design for 7.7MW wind turbines, sealed electrical components, anti-corrosion coating on the tower, adapting to harsh desert climate;
2. Low-wind-speed blade aerodynamic design, realizing stable power generation under 3m/s wind speed, improving annual power generation efficiency;
3. Equipped with intelligent wind farm central control system, supporting real-time monitoring, power regulation, and remote fault diagnosis, meeting Saudi grid access specifications;
4. Modular split design of large components, solving the problem of ultra-long and overweight transportation in desert areas, and providing localized installation guidance and 15-year operation and maintenance service.
All products passed international IEC certification, fully compliant with Middle East energy safety standards.
Project Implementation & Quantified Results
The entire 1.1GW wind farm project was completed and connected to the grid on schedule within 12 months. After formal operation:
- The wind turbines operate stably under high temperature and sandstorm environment, the annual availability rate reaches 98.5%, far exceeding the industry average;
- The annual power generation of the project reaches 3.2 billion kWh, meeting the electricity demand of about 1 million local residents, reducing carbon emissions by 2.4 million tons annually;
- The intelligent control system stabilizes power output, perfectly adapts to the local power grid, and has zero grid connection accidents;
- The client has signed a long-term framework cooperation agreement with us, and promoted our wind energy equipment to other new energy projects in the Middle East.
