Chinese company MingYang Smart Energy has introduced a new offshore wind turbine that is even larger than the world's largest turbine, GE's Haliade-X. This 16 MW giant turbine called "MySE 16.0-242" has a height of 242 meters.
With increasing investment in renewable energy, we encounter new technologies and structures from time to time. Now, with its new turbine, MingYang wants to power 20,000 homes over its 25-year lifespan. This turbine uses three 118-meter blades and rotates in an area of 46,000 square meters, which is larger than 6 football fields. The prototype of this giant offshore wind turbine will be built next year.
Each of these turbines is expected to generate 80 gigawatt hours of electricity per year, which is 45% more than another of the company's turbines, MySE 11.0-203. MingYang has achieved such an increase in production capacity with only a 19% increase in diameter and rotation area.
According to the results published by MingYang, the use of the world's largest offshore wind turbine is expected to reduce the cost of producing energy from renewable sources. Marine wind energy is currently said to be one of the most expensive methods of generating energy. According to US estimates, the cost of producing each

According to the results published by MingYang, the use of the world's largest offshore wind turbine is expected to reduce the cost of producing energy from renewable sources. Wind energy is currently said to be one of the most expensive methods of generating energy. The United States estimates that the cost of producing a megawatt of energy through turbines is $ 120.52, compared to $ 32.78 for pre-subsidized solar use alone.
Despite its high cost, wind is still a vital source of energy. The development of giant turbines and, of course, the optimizations that engineers are doing on them will reduce the cost of wind power generation. According to experts, by 2050 we will see a 37 to 47% reduction in the cost of energy production with offshore wind turbines.
According to MingYang, the MySE 16.0-242 turbine is the first start-up of the company's 15MW offshore wind platform. The complete prototype of this turbine will be built in 2022 and will be operational from 2023. Commercial production of this turbine will be key in the first half of 2024.
