He wind turbine largest of planet has started behaving strangely. There is talk of 20 MW being planted at sea. The regulation of offshore wind energy must preserve habitats and have social participation to fulfill its mission. It is not without reason that it is one of the most important energies in the world, especially in the context of the energy transition we are in.
Offshore wind energy projects are now a great alternative for clean energy production, where efficiency and sustainability must go hand in hand to slow the advance of climate change. It is a source of energy production that uses the power of offshore wind to generate kinetic energy. It converts energy into electricity via a DC wind turbine.
This current becomes alternating current and the voltage increases through a transformer to transport it to an electrical substation. Finally, it is distributed in homes and industries. The production capacity of turbines varies depending on the height and size of the rotor blades.
What happens to the largest wind turbine in the world?
20 megawatts of power (20 MW) is what the wind turbine largest in the world. It is a machine developed by Mingyangwith a rotor diameter of 260-292 meters. It should be noted that the diameter of rotos is the distance between the end of one blade and that of the other.
Mingyang smart energy has made a great announcement that has not gone unnoticed in the energy sector. Has been installed Hainan (China) its impressive offshore wind machine MySE18.X-20 MW. He wind turbineAccording to the manufacturer, it has a “modular and lightweight design, with a flexible power of up to 20 megawatts and a wind rotor diameter of 260-292 meters.”
The turbine has sufficient capacity to take advantage of wind speeds with an average speed of 8.5 meters per second. Likewise, it can produce up to 80 million kilowatt hours per year, the equivalent of the annual demand of almost 100,000 people, according to estimates from Mingyangwhich estimates that this production could avoid up to 66,000 tons of CO2. This is the number of emissions that a thermal power plant burning fossil fuels would release to produce the same amount of electricity. For its part, the model MySE18.X-20 MW It is made for installation in marine environments.
The Asian manufacturer is already working on the details of a 22 megabyte machine. We talk about the model MySE 22MW. Last October it was presented at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall) by Beyyin (for Beijing). It is a wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 310 meters, made for installation in areas with strong winds, with average speeds of 8.5 to 10 meters per second.
Current status of the world’s largest wind turbine
Moreover, the Chinese company claims to have achieved the right balance in the wind turbine blades. According to the portal Renewable energies, Mingyang smart energy presents this piece as a model “suitable for both attachment to the seabed and installation on floating platforms.” It also guarantees that, like other designs, it is ‘typhoon proof’.
It was just a few days ago when the company announced its twin turbine offshore wind platform OceanXthat supports two wind turbines of 8 megabytes each, the wind of the Super typhoon Yagiwhich reached a speed of 245 km per hour at its center and reached a speed of more than 60 meters per second when it hit land on the island Hainan.
Ultimately, the title of wind turbine largest of planet now it comes from the piece developed by Mingyang and, contrary to what you might think when you talk about a “wind turbine“, is ranked by the sea. As the news continues to spread, environmental organizations are speaking out about the use of offshore wind energy.
