(OFF) GOLDWIND'S GIANT

Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Goldwind and China Three Gorges (CTG) Corporation held a ceremony in the Fujian offshore wind industrial park on 13 October as Goldwind rolled out the nacelle for its first 13.6 MW turbine that will have a rotor diameter of 252 metres.

While Vestas’s and Siemens Gamesa’s currently largest offshore wind turbines have a capacity of 15 MW and 14 MW, respectively, more than Goldwind’s new giant, their rotors stand at “only” 236 metres.

According to the recent update from Siemens Gamesa, its SG 14-236 DD rotor has a 43,500 m2 swept area, which is approximately the size of 6.1 standard football pitches and, according to China Daily, Goldwind’s GWH 252-13.6MW has a swept area of about 50,000 m2 which is “equivalent to 7 standard football fields”.

Goldwind’s new model, besides having the world’s largest rotor diameter, is also the largest and most powerful offshore wind turbine in the Asia-Pacific region. offshorewind.biz - link - Adrijana Buljan - link - more like this (Goldwind) - link - more like this (China) - link
