LM Wind Power equips prototype from Goldwind with rotor blades

Goldwind has selected the LM Wind Power rotor blades as part of a strategy to provide advanced technologies and powerful products. It was important for the Chinese to be able to supply both the domestic market and the international market and thus support their ambitious globalization strategy. The rotor blades for the prototype were produced at the plant in Qin Huang Dao in the north-east of China.

Goldwind executive VP Wu Kai said, "With this turbine, Goldwind aspires to lead the industry in availability and performance in the low-wind speed segment where rotor diameters are increasing in size."

"We see the collaboration on the blades for the GW3S platform to be a milestone in our partnership with Goldwind. Our teams have worked closely together to develop the 136-meter rotor and we are working on even more blade designs for this and larger turbine platforms," said Marc de Jong, CEO of LM Wind Power.
