The world’s first double-headed wind turbine, located at the Yangjiang Qingzhou IV offshore wind farm, off Guangdong, southeast China Ocean Xstarted operating. 16 MWThis huge turbine, which has a power capacity of over MingYang Smart Energy It was produced by and designed to meet the energy needs of 30,000 homes per year.

The biggest of the seas

For Ocean X, also known as the “world’s largest floating wind platform,” the company took the first step for this platform in 2020 and tested its vision with a 1:10 scale prototype. After years of work, the full-scale Ocean X turbine was installed seventy kilometers offshore in recent months.

Ocean X placed on a V-shaped tower two 8.3 MW’It has a turbine of . This innovative design 16.6 MW in total offers capacity. Turbine, It has a height of 219 meters and a wingspan of 369 meters. owner. Ocean X’s annual energy production capacity 54.000 MWh It is estimated as . This is 30Clean energy sufficient for 1,000 households It means.

Mingyang uses the cable tie system we commonly see on bridges on the OceanX platform. It is stated that this cabling method facilitates load transfer and allows the tower structure to be lighter. The V-shaped tower design platform, which improves production efficiency and reduces ultimate load in extremely severe typhoon conditions, has both an elevator and stairs for easy access. Additionally, it is stated that OceanX weighs approximately 16,500 tons and is designed to operate in waters of at least 35 m depth. On the other hand, according to Mingyang’s website, OceanX can withstand winds of up to 79.8 m/s and waves reaching 30 meters.
