Preliminary study on the selection of main lifting equipment for large-scale wind farms

Abstract

Against the backdrop of China's carbon peaking targets, the wind power industry in China has achieved remarkable growth in installed capacity. In particular, the rapid increase in the single-unit capacity of wind turbines, the continuous extension of blade length, and the rise in tower height have posed significant challenges to construction techniques, lifting equipment, and site conditions. These challenges are especially pronounced in mountainous, plateau, and other complex terrains, where ensuring safe and efficient installation has become a critical issue for constructors. Based on practical project experience, this paper proposes suggestions and considerations for the selection of lifting equipment, aiming to provide valuable reference for future engineering projects.
