On November 23, the 16 MW offshore wind turbine jointly developed by China Three Gorges Corporation and Goldwind Technology rolled off the production line in Fujian Three Gorges Offshore Wind Power International Industrial Park.
This unit is currently the wind turbine unit with the largest single-unit capacity, the largest impeller diameter, and the lightest weight per megawatt in the world. It marks an important breakthrough in the high-end equipment manufacturing capacity of my country's offshore wind power large-capacity units and has reached the international leading level.
The stand-alone capacity 16 MW offshore wind turbine that rolled off the assembly line this time has an impeller diameter of 252 meters and an impeller sweep area of about 50,000 square meters, which is about the size of seven standard football fields; the hub height is 146 meters, about the equivalent of a 50 height of the building.
Under rated working conditions, a single unit can generate 34.2 kWh per revolution.
According to the multi-year average power generation design value, a single unit can output more than 66 million kWh of clean electricity per year, which can meet the annual living electricity consumption of 36,000 households of three, save about 22,000 tons of standard coal, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions About 54,000 tons.
