NGC Offshore 16MW Front-Integrated Doubly-Fed Gearbox Wins the 2025 China Wind Power Figure · Innovation Pioneer Award

On January 24th, the 2026 China Wind Energy Spring Festival Tea Party was held in Beijing. At the party, Nanjing High Speed Gear Co., Ltd. (NJG) won the "China Wind Energy Pioneer Award" for its independently developed 16MW pre-integrated doubly-fed gearbox, thanks to its outstanding technological innovation capabilities and promising market application prospects. The "China Wind Energy Pioneer Award" is presented annually during the China Wind Energy Spring Festival Tea Party, focusing on cutting-edge innovations in the wind power field and encouraging the deep integration of technological breakthroughs and engineering applications. It serves as an important indicator for promoting high-quality development in the industry.

Repeated Awards Confirm Industry Leadership

Previously, NJG's 16-18MW and 20-22MW fully integrated medium-speed transmission chain gearboxes had already won the "Global Best Transmission Chain Gold Award" from the authoritative global media outlet *Wind Power Monthly*, demonstrating its profound expertise and continuous innovation capabilities in the wind power transmission field. This latest "China Wind Energy Pioneer Award" further confirms and consolidates NJG's leading position in the field of large-megawatt offshore wind power gearbox technology.

Technology-Driven, Multi-Dimensional Innovation Creates Core Advantages

Currently, the global offshore wind power industry is booming and accelerating towards larger single-unit capacities. In this process, the industry faces a key challenge: how to effectively increase unit power while ensuring equipment reliability and reducing total lifecycle costs. This has become a core focus for technological breakthroughs in the industry. Against this backdrop, Nanjing High Speed Gear Co., Ltd. (NJG), leveraging its profound technological accumulation and outstanding innovation capabilities, has successfully developed an industry-leading integrated doubly-fed gearbox for offshore wind turbine main shafts, injecting new and powerful momentum into the development of the offshore wind power industry.

This integrated doubly-fed gearbox boasts numerous highlights, adapting to industry needs through comprehensive technological innovation. Its rated power reaches 16MW, with the potential for further upgrades to 18MW, fully meeting the trend of larger-scale offshore wind power development. In terms of structural design, it adopts an advanced 3P1H structure. Through the integrated innovation of the input end and the main shaft, it significantly improves the compactness of the transmission system structure, achieving efficient operation within a limited space, while enhancing operational stability, laying a solid foundation for stable offshore power generation.

It is worth mentioning that the product incorporates a modular design concept, with each module operating independently yet interconnected, providing exceptional tower maintainability. When a module malfunctions, maintenance personnel can quickly locate and replace it individually without disassembling the entire gearbox, significantly reducing subsequent maintenance difficulty and costs, shortening downtime, and improving power generation efficiency.

Deepening Innovation to Support Global Energy Transition

Facing the complex and harsh operating environment of offshore wind power, this gearbox integrates multiple key technologies to achieve performance breakthroughs. Through optimized design of multi-planetary gear parameters, combined with NGA's independently developed and breakthrough sliding bearing technology, its torque density successfully exceeds 260+ N·m/kg, reaching an industry-leading level and demonstrating outstanding lightweight design capabilities.

In balancing cost and reliability, NGA innovatively applies mature and cost-effective doubly-fed gearbox technology from onshore applications to its 16MW offshore product, ensuring high reliability while effectively controlling costs, providing a more economical solution for large-scale offshore wind power projects.

The integrated doubly fed gearbox for offshore wind turbine main shaft launched by Nanjing High Speed Gear Co., Ltd. not only demonstrates the company's technical strength in the field of offshore wind power, but also provides solid support for the sustainable development of the global offshore wind power industry, and is expected to lead the industry to a new level of development.

As a leading global manufacturer of wind turbine gearboxes, Nanjing High Speed Gearbox Co., Ltd. (NJGG) has maintained its leading global market share for many years, with its products widely used in various wind farm environments in over 30 countries and regions worldwide. This award is not only a high recognition of NJGG's technological innovation capabilities but also a full affirmation of its contributions to the high-quality development of the offshore wind power industry.

In the future, NJGG will continue to uphold its innovation-driven philosophy, deepen its research and development in wind power transmission technology, and launch more high-end products that meet the development needs of the new energy industry, injecting strong momentum into global energy transition and the achievement of "dual-carbon" goals.
