The CNY 435 million Macheng Caijiazhai Wind Farm Project in China's Hubei province is generating 49.5 of the planned 80 megawatt capacity for supplying power to Macheng City. As the general contractor, Hubei Electric Power Survey and Design Institute was responsible for designing and constructing the wind generating sets, pylons and bases, booster station and associated equipment.
Low mountain ridges and steep slopes posed a challenge for locating the wind generating sets, designing the booster station access road, and transporting large-scale equipment. The institute used Bentley technology to create a landform reality model to resolve locations and routes. Hybrid models combining the reality model and 3D design models of the project informed construction, saving more than CNY 200,000 and shortening the construction period by 20 days.
