Baoding Tianwei Wind Power Blade Standardizes On PTC Pro/ENGINEER For Its Design Platform

PTC announced that Baoding Tianwei Wind Power Blade Co., Ltd. (TWPB) has successfully deployed PTC Pro/ENGINEER as its standard platform for fan blade design.

PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the Product Development Company, announced that Baoding Tianwei Wind Power Blade Co., Ltd. (TWPB), a subsidiary of Baoding Tianwei Baobian Electric Co., Ltd, has successfully deployed PTC Pro/ENGINEER as its standard platform for fan blade design. TWPB develops, manufactures and provides after-sale services for blades of in-grid wind power units. It currently works with Denmark-based blade mold manufacturer SSP to develop MW-level fan blades.
 
As the airfoil section of fan blade design is diversified and complex, traditionally it took a long period of time to complete the 3D modeling for fan blades. However, with the powerful surface design features and associativity of Pro/ENGINEER, the system can automatically generate each section according to relevant parameters, and update calculation modules and 3D modeling accordingly. In addition, by allowing different types of data import, Pro/ENGINEER also supports seamless integration with TWPB's analysis software. With the software and service support from PTC and its channel partner Beijing Link-on Technology Co., Ltd, TWPB has as a result improved its product data accuracy and design efficiency.
 
"PTC's 3D, parametric CAD software, Pro/ENGINEER has greatly reduced our workload and shortened new product development time and cost. We are very satisfied with the pre-sale and after sale services and training provided by Beijing Link-on Technology," said Nie Yongjun, vce general manager, Baoding Tianwei Wind Power Blade Co., Ltd. "We look forward to working with PTC and Beijing Link-on Technology to deploy additional PTC solid modeling technologies and relevant solutions."
 
The global energy shortage has brought unprecedented opportunities for the development of new types of energy, and as a result, China's wind power industry is expected to see tremendous growth in the next few years. In 2007, the number of new wind power units globally increased 32.1%, amounting to the capacity of 20.073 million kilowatts. In China, the number climbed by 121% to 2.96 million kilowatts and the total capacity reached 5.56 million kilowatts, an increase of 114%, the highest growth rate in the world. The number of Chinese wind power equipment manufacturers has increased from half a dozen to more than 50 in the past 5 years. In addition, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the issue with a number of energy-saving, emission reduction and new energy policies.
 
"We are very pleased that TWPB has selected PTC's product. Pro/ENGINEER as its powerful design features will help TWPB design team to improve product 3D modeling efficiencies, ensure product quality and reduce production time," said Sin Min Yap, director , product and market strategy, PTC. "PTC is committed to help enterprises such as TWPB use Pro/ENGINEER to achieve their product development objectives and maximize their ROI."
