It is understood that the R & D center's role is to strengthen our wind generators industry for electrical equipment such as key technology research, product development, wind turbines capacity type testing standards, testing and certification system of public service platform so that wind generators wind power industry in China and other key electrical test equipment capacity of the domestic advanced level.

The R & D Institute for Electrical Equipment in Xiangtan Traction Co., Ltd. for technical support, China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association and China, Ltd. as a standard letter detection, testing, certification of public service as a platform to jointly build a national home wind turbine research and development, experimental base .

In the technical support areas, relying on the traction electrical equipment Xiangtan Institute Co., Ltd., have a good R & D and test conditions. Hunan Power Company in the development of new energy equipment, the development of a "priority development of wind energy, focus on the development of nuclear energy, accelerating the development of solar energy," the work of the ideas, and refine the technology R & D base construction, industry specific path. In the wind field, more than in the MW class direct drive permanent magnet wind generator manufactuere and double-fed wind generator key technology and product development, wind turbine power and reliability of all test methods and test platform for research in areas such as number of independent innovation and intellectual property core technology. Meanwhile, in terms of wind power generators machine and parts, the successfully developed with independent intellectual property rights of the 2.5-megawatt wind turbine on land and at sea, 3.6 to 5 MW offshore wind turbine technology such as systems integration, development and production of permanent magnet wind generator, inverter and control system, unit control system core technology and products. At present, Hunan Power Company is fully equipped with wind machine series, large-scale conditions, more than 10 billion yuan more than the total order.

In the standards, testing and certification system, the China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association as the energy industry Fengdian Standardization Technical Committee of wind power electrical Shebeizhuanye Zu head of Danwei, relying on wind turbine generators  manufacturing industry Gexiang Guan enterprises, research institutes Deng advantage unit, set up standards and detection systems, to develop standards for wind turbine energy sector projects, particularly to meet the needs of product technology market access conditions, test methods and sets of wind power electrical equipment and systems standards. According to standard small  wind turbine certification carried out the implementation details of the development work, lay the foundation for the establishment of market access barriers.

It is reported that the R & D Center has identified development objectives, its near-term goal is "more than 2.5 MW and permanent magnet synchronous home Wind Generator R & D", "direct drive 3.6 MW offshore permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine R & D "," MW low speed direct drive wind turbine industrialization of key technologies "," 5 MW and above the sea wind turbine permanent magnet synchronous development and application, "and many other development issues .

In addition, to further satisfy the development of wind turbine manufacturing industry needs, test platform capacity-building will take into account various types of wind turbines, increase its scope of application; research project focused on vertical wind turbines industry is currently considering the significant technical challenges exist.
