Editor's Note:
The world's largest 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine was successfully installed off the coast of East China’s Fujian Province on Wednesday and is about to be put into commercial operation soon, marking an important breakthrough in China's offshore wind power production in high-end equipment manufacturing capacity and far-reaching offshore wind power construction capacity.
The center height of the wind turbine hub is 152 meters, the weight of the engine room and the generator combination is 385 tons, the blade is 123 meters long, and the impeller sweeping area is about 50,000 square meters, the equivalent of about 7 standard soccer fields.
The world's first 2,000-ton fourth generation offshore wind power installation platform – Baihetan is helping the fan hoisting and installation smoothly.
In the next step, the wind turbine will be comprehensively tested in the design performance of the unit in its commercial operation process, and provide technical support for large-scale batch applications of large offshore wind power units with similar or even larger installed capacities in the near future.
