World's Largest Wind Energy Turbine Will Take 3yrs To Build! by VcStunner(m): 10:28am On Apr 07, 2018 |
Designed to generate over 12 Megawatts capacity output, towering over 260 meters above the sea and fitted with 107 meter long blades, the Haliade-X would generate 45% more electricity than the largest offshore wind turbine deployed in recent times with the capability of powering over 15,000 homes! With this audacious step, General Electric (G.E) Renewable Energy has just made a bold statement in the wind energy market. To lead. This ambitious scale-up of its flagship offshore turbine and the rather aggressive timeline makes it crystal clear how eager G.E is to surpass the MHI Vestas and Siemens Gamesa Renewable energy. The industry leaders. Haven earlier acquired the Ultra-Long blade Specialists, LM Wind Power and has also planned on investing a little over $400million over the next three to five years to develop and deploy the Haliade-X. A tool John Lavelle, G.E Renewable Energy CEO of Offshore wind has said will achieve a 63% capacity factor, a $7million price he is willing to pay for each percentage point increase to make Haliade-X several points better than existing industry leading offshore turbines. Do we have any wind energy solution in Nigera? Where is my minister of science and technology when you need them! Source: GreenTechNaija https:///Hsp4ZJPfGU
