China A firm of has launched the world’s largest wind turbines of category five power Hurricanes Even during Energy can produce
The giant ‘Ocean X’ platform, developed by Chinese company Ming Yang Smart Energy, consists of two wind turbines, mounted on a V-shaped structure, and is capable of generating more than 16 megawatts. electricity can produce
The company said in its LinkedIn post that the turbine platforms installed in the southern Chinese coastal city of Guangzhou can generate 54,000 MW of electricity annually, which is enough to power 30,000 households in China every year.
The company first tested a small 1:10 scale prototype in 2020 and completed the full-scale installation of the Ocean X platform in April this year.
It consists of counter-rotating rotors each consisting of giant turbine blades with a diameter of 182 m and mounted on a V-shaped structure.
The structure is held together by high-tension cables and mounted on a floating platform in the shape of the English letter Y (Y) to ensure maximum strength.
The company said the giant platform is built with super-strong and high-performance concrete, weighs regarding 16,500 tonnes and can operate in waters over 35 meters deep.
Ming Yang says the turbine platform can generate electricity with wind speeds of up to 260 km/h and waves up to 30 meters high, even withstanding a category five hurricane.
The company says in its website that its robust resistance can withstand storms of up to 79.8 amps.

These types of hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage and when they hit residential areas, most frame houses, trees and power poles are downed.
Conventional wind turbines can suffer in such adverse conditions, causing fluctuations in power output and premature wear of their power generator components.
The company calls its new design ‘an adaptive system that ensures stability and safety even in extreme storm conditions, which it hopes will revolutionize marine energy.
This might be very important for power generation in coastal areas of China like Guangzhou that are regularly hit by severe storms, especially in the era of climate change storms.
China aims to provide one-third of its total energy consumption from renewable sources by 2025.
By providing eco-friendly energy to thousands of households, the wind turbine platform can also help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 56,000 tonnes.
