The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On::It’s turbo time.
The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On::It’s turbo time.
Article is inaccurate:
This is impossible, the total height cannot be lower than twice the length of the blades.
I found a better article: https://electrek.co/2023/07/19/16-mw-offshore-wind-turbine/
So it must be more than 260 meters high. Maybe 152 meters is the height of the tower? Generally the height of a turbine is measured as the high point of the wing tips. Which is what for instance air traffic must observe.
It is the tower that is 499 feet tall. https://www.sciencealert.com/the-largest-and-most-powerful-wind-turbine-ever-built-is-now-operational
Yes I figured as much, and added it to my comment.
It’s an impressive turbine, but whether it succeeds commercially remains to be seen.
It beats the Vestas 15 MW turbine, which has been tested for 3 years, and goes into production next year.
PS. The Vestas turbine is 280 meters high.
