The Chinese state-owned manufacturer announced today that it has installed the world\u2019s most powerful wind turbine prototype at a testing and certification base. This turbine, the world\u2019s largest for capacity and size, boasts a blade wheel diameter of more than 310 meters (1,107 feet) and a hub height of 185 meters (607 feet). Dongfang shipped the turbine\u2019s nacelle earlier this month \u2013 the world\u2019s heaviest \u2013 along with three blades.<\/p>\n

This offshore wind turbine is designed for areas with wind speeds of 8 meters per second and above. With average winds of 10 meters per second, just one of these giants can generate 100 GWh of power annually, which is enough to power 55,000 homes. That\u2019s enough to cut standard coal consumption by 30,000 tons and reduce CO2 emissions by 80,000 tons. Dongfang says it\u2019s wind resistant up to 17 (200 km\/h) on the extended Beaufort scale.<\/p>\n

In May, Dongfang said it had completed static load testing on the turbine\u2019s blades, and the turbine is now undergoing fatigue testing, which could take up to a year before the turbine is fully certified. <\/p>\n
