The two companies have partnered to bring GE’s Haliade-X offshore wind turbines to the Japanese market
The Thuan Nhien Phong project is predicted to power the equivalent of 45,000 homes
LM Wind Power will operate the plant which will be dedicated to the production of its 107-metre-long offshore wind turbine blades, a key component of GE’s Haliade-X, the most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation today
Four wind farms are forecast to generate enough energy to power the equivalent of 590,000 homes
GE Renewable Energy says ground-up turbine blades could replace raw materials such as coal, sand and clay in cement manufacturing facilities across the US
The 6.0-164 turbine is expected to increase annual energy production by up to 11% compared to the previous model
It will be able to generate 4% more annual energy production than the previous 12MW version of the prototype
The 327MW wind project is predicted to power the equivalent of 250,000 households in India
One spin of the Haliade-X 13MW turbine could generate enough electricity to power a home for more than two days
The test rig aims to investigate the behaviour of wind turbine rotors under enormous mechanical loads caused by large blades
