At 4am, the sky began to brighten and a 2000 ton crane slowly lifted the engine room on the deck. The staff introduced that the center height of the 16 MW wind turbine hub is 152 meters, so the aerial lifting height of the cabin must be greater than 162 meters. The entire engine compartment is composed of thousands of components, with a total weight of 413 tons, equivalent to the weight of over 270 family sedans. Such a high lifting height and cabin weight pose great challenges to the lifting work.
The main engine compartment of the 16 MW wind turbine was lifted to the top of the tower, and 8 workers docked at the top of the tower. After the docking was completed, the 200 bolts at the connection between the tower and the main engine were also tightened firmly.

It is understood that after the hoisting of the main engine compartment is completed, the single blade hoisting of the fan blades will be carried out. After the completion and grid connection of the 16 MW offshore wind turbine, it will become the largest offshore wind turbine in operation in China. It can output over 66 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, meeting the annual electricity consumption of 36000 households of three.
