Wind turbine installation of Amunet 500MW wind power project in Egypt
The Amunet 500MW wind project is located about 300km south-east of Cairo and 8km north of Ras Qarib with a total capacity of 500.5 MW. It covers the 500.5 MW wind farm area, including fan, Fan Foundation, lifting platform, collecting line, road, Wind Tower, 33/220kV booster station design, procurement, installation, commissioning and access road. It is planned to install 77 vision en 6.5-171/H94.5 m wind turbines, and 39 wind turbines are planned to be installed in this section.
The wind speed in the project site is always high, which brings great challenge to the hoisting work. In view of the characteristics of fast wind speed and heavy weight, the Chinese team carefully organized, scientific planning, safe construction. According to the conditions of road and crane position, the domestic large crawler crane is selected as the main crane, and the whole crane is directly driven in the transfer yard, so that the first crane is completed smoothly.
The launch of a 500MW wind farm in Egypt is not only a milestone in Egypt's energy transition, but also highlights China's technological prowess and international influence in the new energy sector. As the project progresses, I believe it will contribute more to the energy transition and green development in Egypt and globally.
