GabyWhen the energy company MingYang announced the construction of another giant wind turbine, it brought the country one step closer to carbon neutrality. The flagship offshore wind turbine MySE 18.X-28X, with a capacity of over 18 MW, will rise 70 stories high.
This design surpasses the wind turbines that the company built earlier in all parameters, particularly the MySE 16.0-242. The new development is expected to help China achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, according to MingYang.
The 140-meter blades of the new wind turbine are mounted on a rotor with a diameter of over 280 meters. One rotation, covering an area of 66,052 m², will quickly provide electricity to thousands of people.
The giant wind turbine MySE 18.X-28X can produce 80 GWh of electricity per year based on an average annual wind speed of 30.6 km/h. The company stated that this is enough to power 96,000 people. At the same time, CO2 emissions are expected to decrease by 66,000 tons, the publication reported. Designboom .
Generator electricity It is modular and lightweight due to comprehensive modernization, particularly in hybrid drive technology. MingYang also plans to install holographic probing MPC and DTC technology – two features designed to protect the machine from extreme ocean conditions, specifically a typhoon with a strength of 17, during which wind speeds exceed 200 km/h.
As summarized by MingYang, this installation features high generation capacity, a modular design, high transmission efficiency and power quality, typhoon resistance, good sealing, optimal heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, ease of transportation and lifting, as well as relatively low cost.
The company’s engineers take pride in creating the MySE 18.X-28X. The wind turbine is extremely important for the transition to clean energy.
