Mingyang Stands Up Record Setting Massive
China''s wind energy companies are continuing their race to build the largest offshore wind turbines with Mingyang Smart Energy
Mingyang, however, is not content; it plans for an even larger 22 MW turbine whose rotor sweeps 75,477 square meters. As offshore wind technology continues to evolve (it promises to play a key role in meeting the world's growing energy demands) with ever-larger turbines producing clean energy more efficiently than before.
According to Mingyang, the MySE18.X-20MW turbine is designed to be lightweight, modular, and highly reliable. With its massive wind rotor diameter of 260-292 m (853-958 ft), it has a maximum wind sweeping area of 66,966 sq m – that's more than 12 NFL football fields.
The 20 MW unit features a modular, lightweight design. The rotor has a diameter of 260 to 292 meters (853 to 958 feet). At an average wind speed of approximately 18 mph, the turbine can generate 80 million kWh annually. Mingyang says it will offset 66,000 tons of CO2 emissions. The size race continues to accelerate in the industry.
The highlight of CRRC's exhibition was its new 20MW floating offshore wind turbine, marking a major milestone in offshore wind innovation. With a rotor diameter of 853 feet (260 meters) and a blade tip height of up to 1,050 feet (320 meters), the turbine covers a massive swept area of 53,000 square meters—equivalent to seven football fields.
