In recent weeks, the Jiangsu Administration for Market Regulation and the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission announced its list of strategic emerging industry and service industry standardization pilot projects for Jiangsu in 2022. One of the selected projects was the “high-power wind energy gearbox standardization pilot” project.
A standardization pilot project refers to standardization activities that use the principles and methods of standardization in specific fields, in order to realize the innovation of regional or organizational management models and enhance social or economic benefits by establishing a scientific and applicable standards system. A standardization pilot is an important means for formulating and implementing such standards. Through the exploration of typical operating experience, it promotes the improvement of standardized systems and the promotion and understanding of relevant standards in various fields, enabling appropriate adjustments to industrial layout, transformation of production models, and improvements in innovation capabilities and management efficiency.
Founded in 1969, NGC is dedicated to providing gearbox and transmission technology solutions for users worldwide. The company relies on the quality concept of continued innovation and zero defects with continued investment in R&D, and it supplies the global market with a complete line of wind energy transmission products between 1.5 MW and 11.X MW, all of which have passed the requisite certifications, including DNV-GL, DEWIOCC, TUV-NORD, CCS, CGC, ETL, UL, and CE. The products are adapted to harsh operating environments such as low temperature, low wind speed, high altitude, and offshore applications, providing a reliable guarantee for households throughout the world in the use of clean energy.
In the field of wind energy gearboxes, NGC has accumulated a vast amount of advanced manufacturing and R&D experience in terms of independent innovation. This includes development and research, technical innovations, and production process improvements, which have led to some impressive achievements, including 332 national patents, of which 16 are invention patents. The company has undertaken several major projects related to national science and technology support plans. The company has led or participated in the revision and formulation of a total of 12 national and industrial standards. Certified as a high-tech enterprise, the company boasts 27 certified high-tech products. NGC won second prize at the National Awards for Progress in Science and Technology, first prize at the China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Awards, as well as a National Key New Product Certificate, provincial and municipal prizes for Progress in Science and Technology, a Science and Technology Award, an Excellent New Product Award, the Jiangsu Provincial Quality Award Nomination Award, and the Nanjing Mayor’s Quality (Organization) Award.
On the basis of the industrial experience it has accumulated, NGC has integrated the different concepts of standardization, modularization and reliable technology, while remaining committed to the development of standardized, modular platform products for wind energy gearboxes. Following the development trends in large-scale and lightweight wind turbine generator systems, a new generation of serialized high-power wind energy gearbox platform products have been developed, marked by their high bearing capacities, high torque density and high reliability. Such products have provided customers with flexible and effective solutions for upgrade, load expansion and service life extension of wind turbines.
By piloting the high power wind energy gearbox standardization project, NGC will further establish a better management system, devise a complete management training process, cultivate high quality standardized management and implementation professionals, promote the integration of advanced technology into standards, promote the structural optimization of the wind energy industry, and achieve long-term sustainable development.
