The world’s biggest offshore wind turbine was revealed by China’s Dongfang Electric Company (DEC).
The wind turbine has a power output of 26 megawatts, and reinforces Chinese leadership in the offshore wind energy sector.
It consists of more than 30,000 parts, which include state-of-the-art generators, blades, electronic control systems, bearings, etc, all of which were manufactured in the country, keeping in mind the highest standards of efficiency.
The first such turbine is being readied at the Fujian Fuzhou Offshore Wind Power Industrial Park and will be installed at the Fujian offshore wind farm in the Taiwan Strait, home to some of the largest turbines in the world.
The DEC 26-MW turbine is larger than any other turbine in the world, both by physical size and electrical capacity.
Its hub height, which is the distance from the ground to the central rotor, is 185 m, comparable to a 63-storey building.
Each blade is around 150 m long and weighs several tons.
