China now owns almost half of the sea turbines in the world.
In China, a record -sized wind turbine / screenshot was successfully downloaded to the shipAt Yanchzhou’s port in China, a record size was successfully loaded on the ship. Its length is 436 feet (133 meters) and the weight is 73.8 tons. This is the biggest similar operation in the Yangtze River basin, InterestingenGineering writes.
According to a video of the Chinese global television network, the port employees for the first time used a cooperative system of working with portal cranes that use sensors and technologies for recognition of images to monitor the process in real time.
It is noted that this achievement emphasizes the increasing importance of the logistics of wind energy equipment in China. The Janchzhou port became the central node in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to load and unload the components of wind power plants. 436-foot blades indicate trends to create larger and more powerful wind turbines.
Another important event in the field of wind power in China is the creation of an offshore wind turbine with a capacity of 25 MW. With the height of the sleeve 607 feet (185 meters), it is designed for deep -sea installations and is designed to improve the efficiency of wind energy. However, such ambitious projects face failures: in December 2023, it became known about the separation of “hurrica-resistant” shovels on the prototype of the turbines Myse18.X-20MW.
China now owns almost half of the sea turbines in the world, and the total attached capacity of its offshore wind power plants has reached 41 gigavat.
In 2024 alone, China invested 13.6 trillion yuan (about $ 1.9 trillion) into renewable energy sources, raising the total installed capacity to more than 1410 gigawatts and exceeding the production of electricity on coal.
The National Offshore Turbine Test Center is also created in China, which will allow you to check record turbines with a capacity of 20-25 MW. According to sectoral sources, 20 turbines of different power will first be deployed at this object.
Meanwhile, in the US, the newspaper writes a sharp contrast in wind power policy, as President Donald Trump’s decree has actually frozen new projects for the construction of land and sea wind power plants.
The US is at risk of losing competitiveness in this area, despite the fact that the cost of wind electricity is about $ 27 per megawatt-hour, which is much cheaper than gas or coal.
Earlier, UNIAN told about the largest wind turbine in the history that was launched in China in August 2024. Its start has led to changes in the microclimate near the installation site.
It was noted that thanks to 128-meter blades and a height of 242 meters, it can produce so much electricity a year to provide 96,000 homes.
Each blade of a giant turbine captures more wind energy than ever before. The power of this miracle of engineering thought in 20 MW greatly increases the ability to use wind energy to meet the world’s electricity needs and marks significant progress in the technology of renewable energy sources.
