Global Wind Energy Council predicts that the number of increased wind turbine in China will be more than 30% all increased numbers in the world by 2023, and China will become the country that owns most wind turbines in the world. Currently the price is more and more competitive in the wind power industry, it is a critical goal in wind power industry supply chain to increase capability, optimize quality, and reduce cost.

Large-blade wind turbines is a global trend, the use of larger and longer wind turbine blades in wind farms with slow wind speed in China can optimize power generation efficiency and help increase return on investment. However, it also brings greater challenges in design, installation, and cost control of larger wind blades.

 Swancor Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as Swancor) has more than 20 years of resin development experience, and has been deeply involved in the development of wind power blade materials for many years. In order to reduce the cost of the wind power industry, Swancor has invented a resin “SWANCOR HYVER” (Hereinafter referred to as "HYVER") with lower cost and also excellent performance in accordance with the current requirements of the wind power market.

 Swancor cooperated with a well-known wind blade manufacturer in China to product a HYVER wind blade for slow wind speed farms in June, 2021. The wind blade is over 80 meters long and uses HYVER in infusion process, it is a successful breakthrough in the trial production of wind large-blade.

Before the trial production, Swancor and the customer implement comprehensive verifications of material property, structural design and key process to establish a solid technical foundation and lead the successful first wind turbine blade trail production.

This year, chemical raw materials have generally risen up caused by global epidemic of COVID-19 and force majeure climate conditions. The price is more and more competitive in the wind power industry, as the main raw material for wind power blades, the price of wind power epoxy resin has risen accordingly. The price of wind power turbine has continued to fall in response to market competition, wind power turbine and wind power blades manufacturers are facing unprecedented pressure to reduce costs. Swancor has launched the solution “HYVER” to solve the issue, the following are HYVER advantages and characteristics.

1. Lower costs by 15%

2. Low viscosity and good wettability with fibers, shorten the infusion time and improve the production efficiency of wind blades

3. Low exothermic temperature and long pot life, suitable for the infusion of wind large-blades

4. Build the finished goods strength quickly, speed up wind blades to demould

5. Excellent mechanical properties, meeting the design requirements of large blades

         2021~2025 is an important phase for China wind power industry to lead the world and expand the market, reducing costs and increase efficiency is the key to make it. HYVER meets customers and the wind power industry chain needs to reduce costs and improve efficiency. In the future, Swancor will continuously invest in the expansion of R&D and innovation and cooperates with customers in large-blade and efficient wind blade material products development, and continues to put more resource in innovation to achieve safer environmentally friendly production processes, factory environments and product applications.
