[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction announced on the 4th that it has completed the construction of the Jangheung Wind Power Complex, commissioned by Korea Western Power, and held a completion ceremony.

The Jangheung Wind Power Complex was established with a total capacity of 18 MW in the Yuchi-myeon area of Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do. As the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) supplier, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction manufactured and installed six 3 MW-class wind turbines and carried out other auxiliary works and commissioning in an integrated manner. It also plans to sign a maintenance service contract in the future.

Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction's wind turbines are products developed domestically through industry-academia-research cooperation. The company explained that they are optimized for Korea's wind environment, which has lower average wind speeds and frequent typhoons compared to Europe. To increase power generation efficiency, the blade length was extended from the existing 44 meters to about 65.5 meters to expand the area exposed to the wind. Carbon materials were also applied to reduce the weight of the blades and ensure durability.

Park Hong-wook, Head of Power Service BG at Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, said, "The Jangheung Wind Power Complex is the result of cooperation with about 400 domestic companies to revitalize the wind power industry ecosystem," adding, "We will expand wind power-related technology development and production capacity to contribute to the global carbon neutrality trend."

Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction currently has 3 MW and 5.5 MW offshore wind turbine models. The 8 MW model is scheduled to be developed and commercialized next year.
