Ming Yang Turbines Excel in Typhoon Wutip: Zero Accidents, Over 279 Million kWh Generated

Date: 2025.06.19
Typhoon Wutip (Butterfly) recently made landfall in China's Hainan and Guangdong provinces. Ming Yang's 36 wind power projects in these regions and Guangxi, including 1,205 turbines like "OceanX" and "Mingyu No.1," were directly affected. Thanks to the turbines' robust typhoon-resistant technology and the meticulous emergency deployment by the operation and maintenance team, all 1,205 turbines withstood the typhoon, achieving zero major equipment losses and generating 279 million kWh of electricity during its passage, demonstrating Ming Yang's technological leadership and reliability in offshore wind power.
During Typhoon Wutip (Butterfly), the peak wind speed of 44.6 meters per second (equivalent to a level 14 typhoon) was recorded at the Hainan Lingao CZ1 project. The project's turbines promptly switched to typhoon-resistant mode, generating 24.39 million kWh while withstanding the extreme winds. From June 12 to June 15, the turbines in the affected areas generated 279 million kWh, 182 million kWh more than before the typhoon, exceeding expectations.

Ming Yang's success in facing Typhoon Wutip (Butterfly) is attributed to years of effort in typhoon resistance and months of special preparations. In March, the engineering and maintenance team began annual preparations to ensure stable turbine operation during typhoons. Ming Yang has turned typhoon "no man's lands" into rich areas for wind power development. Using data from 30 turbine models, 40 typhoons, and 100 wind farms, Ming Yang developed a high-precision simulation platform to optimize turbine structural performance, enhancing safety and typhoon resistance.

Ming Yang's Matrix platform features integrated, intelligent, and refined blade design to reduce loads. The nacelle cover and related components use fluid-solid coupling analysis for stability. The turbines also have redundant backup power systems, advanced wind measurement, and control systems to handle extreme conditions.

Ming Yang has pioneered "safe utilization" of typhoons. Using storm algorithms and machine learning, turbines optimize power generation within safe load limits, maximizing energy capture. After over a decade of typhoon resistance, Ming Yang has overcome many challenges in offshore wind power, becoming a global leader in typhoon-resistant technology. With over 2,600 turbines operating in typhoon areas, Ming Yang has the most operational data and is the top brand in typhoon-resistant turbines.
