With the passage of time, green energies are becoming increasingly popular and surprise us with their incredible progress such as this magnetic levitation wall. But now we are confronted with a new innovation from Spain who promises to be China’s competition, but what is it?
Spain and a colossal goal to beat China
As time goes, wind energy increasingly stands out as an effective solution to generate electricity with our planet in a friendly way. The most important advantage of this is to save money because the wind is free energy! That largely lowers the costs of traditional systems.
So more and more countries are looking for new ways to absorb this energy and one of the most effective ways Marine Wind EnergyBut how does this work? In short, the turbines are installed in the sea and with the power of the wind generate electricity.
Nowadays, more and more projects for marine wind energy are starting, especially in Europe, where the goal of increasing this energy to reduce polluting emissions with this in mind, Spain did not want to stay outside and has arrived with an impressive innovation a gigantic wind turbine! That will be the competition of the Chinese turbines.
A revolutionary project
The Danish energy agency has confirmed the approval of a large prototype of the marine wind turbine developed by the Hispanic-German Company Siemens Gamessa. This innovative project, called Hippow He took his first steps in April 2023 and has the goal of producing the largest and most powerful marine turbine.
And apparently the goal is nothing like reality, because it is a marine wind turbine with a huge Rotor of approximately 276 meters And one 21.5 MW Power Really impressive!
And according to its makers, this new wind turbine can generate sufficient energy to deliver more than 7000 houses in Denmark every year! and it is estimated that it will help to reduce the gas emissions that cause the greenhouse effect 55 424 tons per year.
Has Spain conquered China?
Currently, the world’s largest turbine is the one developed by the Chinese company Mingyang Smart Energy It started to work in September 2024. This turbine has one Rotor diameter between 260 and 292 Approximately meters and a maximum power of 20 MW.
However, the Spanish revolutionary turbine seems to overcome it! But war does not end here! Because China also works on another innovation that promises to be just as big as the Eiffel Tower.
The Empresa China Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC) products a gigantic wind turbine With a diameter of 310 meters and a force of 26 MW.
The world’s largest marine turbine
But be careful! If we go to the most specific data, the turbines of the Chinese companies are Mingyang and Dec Terrestrian wind turbines.
On the other hand, when we talk about sea turbines, the largest is currently the China Qihang turbine with a rotor of 260 meters and a capacity of 20 MW. This turbine is specifically considered ‘the largest marine wind turbine’.
Subsequently, as a summary, the Spanish turbine could exceed the Chinese record of the world’s largest turbine if Siemens Gamessa takes his wind turbine in use before Dec, which is very likely.
But even if the new Turbine of DEC is officially launched, Spain would still keep track of the largest and most powerful marine turbine record in the world, because it has already surpassed the Qihang turbine in diameter and strength.
In conclusion, Spain has succeeded in overcoming Chinese records with the world’s largest wind turbine. These types of technologies, such as this Spanish invention that gives energy in less than 3 hours, they position Spain as a great leader of the energy transition.
