Installing 97 meter-long wind turbine blades in the hills near Martianzhen, Hunan, China. China has 2/3 of the world’s wind power capacity, and transporting and installing these blades costs more than the equipment. The blades are placed in a specialized cradle to hoist them in a horizontal position to the top of the tower, where they are bolted onto the turbine. The blades are manufactured and installed by SANY, a leading Chinese heavy equipment company, which will manage this 18-tower, 88-megawatt wind farm for a few years before selling it.
