Integrated control software and solutions for
Taiyuan Heavy Industry wind turbines to provide reliable, clean
energy for 35 million people
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and software company,
will provide integrated wind automation solutions and services to
Taiyuan Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (TYHI) for three greenfield wind
farms located in Shanxi Province, China, a region experiencing high
growth in its renewable generation base. Emerson’s wind turbine
control software and expertise combined with TYHI wind turbines
will deliver green energy to over 35 million residents located in
Beijing and other Northern China cities.
Decreasing the global carbon footprint to address climate change
is critical for a more sustainable world. China is accelerating its
use of renewable energy sources to reduce dependency on fossil
fuels to less than 20% by 2060. To help address this goal, the
China wind market is expected to grow with a cumulative
grid-connected wind capacity of 689 gigawatts by the end of 2030,
accounting for 67% of the global share.
“Wind energy is an essential component of making a net zero
future a reality. Our innovative wind expertise and comprehensive
portfolio of wind solutions are backed by five decades of
delivering value to global wind turbine owners, operators and
manufacturers,” said Bob Yeager, president of Emerson’s power and
water business. “The result is our ability to help our customers
provide the lowest-cost source of clean energy, taking an important
step toward a more sustainable world.”
Emerson’s wind turbine controls and SCADA software will enable
the reliable and efficient operation of three greenfield wind farms
capable of generating 300 megawatts of clean energy from over 40
wind turbines supplied by TYHI. Emerson’s expanded renewable
capabilities and expertise were amplified by the acquisition of
Mita-Teknik, a global leader in wind generation solutions with
expertise in control design of over 750 wind turbine models and an
install base of more than 60,000 systems worldwide.
The collaboration with TYHI to deliver clean wind energy to
local communities is one step in advancing China’s sustainability
journey. This project is an example of Emerson’s “Greening By”
environmental sustainability strategy that is described in
Emerson’s 2021 ESG report as helping critical industries leverage
the power of automation and novel solutions to deliver the
low-carbon energy system transition.
Emerson’s wind experts will work with TYHI on the development
and execution of automation projects to reduce project risk and
maintain the schedule. The team will also provide services to
support startup and commissioning, as well as surveillance, alarm
management and diagnostic reporting services when the sites are in
operation.
The wind farms are scheduled for commercial operation in
2023.
