As the wind farm with the largest single-machine capacity in Ethiopia, the Aisha Wind Power Project, in which XCMG XGC500-I crawler cranes participated, has a total installed capacity of 120 MW. Currently, it has a power generation capacity of 40 MW. After completion, it will be used for the economic construction of the Asia-Djibouti Economic Corridor. Provide sufficient power protection.

During the hoisting of the unit, the temperature approached 40°C. The swept wind engulfed the yellow sand, and the "locust army" was raging. The surface vegetation was sparse, the sand had strong fluidity, and the foundation conditions were poor. The harsh natural conditions made the construction difficult.

XCMG XGC500-I adopts a large chassis design, the whole machine is more stable, and the average ground pressure is small. Whether it is a swamp, a mountain, a desert, or a hill, it can be easily handled without fear of any terrain.

On site, after completing the hoisting of the tower, the nacelle and the generator, XCMG XGC500-I slowly lifted the assembled huge wind turbine, first turned 90 degrees in the air, and then continued to lift up to an altitude of 80 meters. precise connection.

"Too strong! This is Chinese technology!" Seeing the scene of the successful hoisting of the generator, the on-site personnel were very excited.

Ethiopia regards new energy as an important strategy for national power development, and will become the largest wind power base in Africa, bringing new vitality to more Gobi deserts. Up to now, XCMG crawler cranes have also participated in 97% of the wind power construction in countries and regions along the Belt and Road, boosting the acceleration of global green energy development.
