Vestas Launches 15 MW Offshore Wind Turbine

Vestas announced designs for a 15 megawatt (MW) seaward wind turbine on Wednesday, with the Danish firm wanting to introduce a model one year from now prior to sloping up creation in 2024.

As per the Aarhus-settled organization, the monster V236-15.0 MW turbine will actually want to create about 80 gigawatt hours out of every year.

This, it claims, would be sufficient to control roughly 20,000 European family units, saving more than 38,000 metric huge loads of carbon dioxide all the while.

Vestas is the furthest down the line organization to push forward with the improvement of a sizeable seaward wind turbine. GE Renewable Energy's Haliade-X can be arranged to 12, 13 or 14 MW, while Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy is chipping away at a 14 MW turbine which can likewise be helped to 15 MW whenever required.

As innovation has created, the size of wind turbines has expanded. In a new report, industry body WindEurope said the normal appraised limit of turbines introduced in Europe a year ago was 8.2 MW, a 5% expansion on 2019. Limit alludes to the greatest sum a turbine can deliver, not really the thing it is presently producing.
