For years, China has shown a firm and sincere commitment to the fight for decarbonisation. Although blamed for its lukewarmness and slowness in eliminating coal, the truth is that the Asian country is making an impressive deployment of renewable energy. The proof of this is its implementation. old wind turbine built in history.

It’s a technical genius showing how far this type of facility can go. This is the MySE-16-260, a 16 megawatt turbine. 260 meters rotor diameter. these shovels They can sweep a large area of ​​53,000 square meters, equivalent to the area of ​​seven football fields..

Besides being impressively large, the MySE-16-260 is extraordinarily robust and robust because the turbine is built to last. HEDestructive winds from Typhoon Talim, which hit China recently.

The turbine is a technical marvel CSSC

The dimensions of the set are really impressive. MySE 16-260’s central tower is approximately 153 meters high and houses a generator that weighs 385 metric tons.

The turbine’s designer, Mingyang Smart Energy, said in a LinkedIn post that the turbine “will generate 67 million kWh of energy per year, Enough for the use of 80,000 peopleIt reduces CO2 by 56,000 tons”.

the bigger the cheaper

The race to build the largest wind turbine is not just a competition between countries or companies. The larger the size of these mills, the better they work, the lower the installation costs and the cheaper the energy. after all.

“Compared to installing 13 MW models, the increased power of the MySE18.X-28X can save the 18 devices required for a one gigawatt wind farm; construction cost savings of $120,000 to $150,000 per megawatt”says Mingyang in a statement.

It uses a holographic sensing system to control and reduce overall loading and can slow wing vibration and minimize turret and foundation vibration by 50%.

According to the Xataka portal, Chaozhou, a city in Guangdong province, It will host an ambitious 43.3 gigawatt installation in the Taiwan Strait. It will be gigantic, 10 kilometers long, and have thousands of powerful turbines. Because the location is subject to unusually strong winds, the turbines will be able to generate electricity 43-49% of the time.
