China installs world’s 1st dual-headed wind turbine to harness hurricane power | The estimated annual production capacity is 54,000 megawatt-hours (MWh), enough to power approximately 30,000 households in China.
Chinese firm unveils world's largest dual-turbine floating wind platform, which can harness power during extreme typhoon conditions as well.
MingYang Smart Energy’s new design, Ocean X, features a dual-turbine ‘V’ shape with a total capacity of 16.6 MW and has been launched in the southern Chinese port city of Guangzhou. Weighing approximately 16,500 tons (15,000 tonnes), the floating platform is engineered to operate in waters deeper than 115 ft (35 m), allowing it to harness optimal offshore wind resources. Competing with global leaders like Siemens Gamesa and domestic rivals such as GoldWind and CSSC Haizhuang, MingYang’s turbine diameters range from 853 to 958 feet (260-292 meters), sweeping an area akin to nine soccer fields.
