Typhoon Yagi made landfall near Wenchang on the island of Hainan, China, on September 6. It had already wreaked havoc on the island of Luzon in the Phillipines, and afterward went on to northern Vietnam. In all, at least 85 people were killed (dozens are still missing) and 425 injured.
Among the damaged structures were these wind turbines near Wenchang. The Hainan Jinshan Wenchang facility was commissioned in 2009 and comprised 32 1.5-MW models (Sinovel Wind SL1500/60) and 1 2-MW. The 1.5-MW turbines were slated to be replaced soon with 16 6.5-MW models.
