Powerful 300-meter wind turbine, as giant as the Eiffel Tower, made up of dozens of wind turbines, has a useful life of 50 years and promises to revolutionize energy in the world

Giant power plant is capable of generating about five times the annual energy of the largest turbines in the world and will be installed on offshore oil platforms occupying 80% less surface in the water

Revolution in energy! A completely different concept for an offshore wind farm has already been presented in Norway. The giant wind turbine, which exceeds both the Eiffel Towerl in width and height, it is based on a square lattice structure on which not just one wind turbine, but many of them, are mounted. In computer images, there are 117, each with a capacity of one megawatt.

Wind turbines already produce energy economically today, but new projects show that the technology is far from exhausted. Until now, commercial wind turbines have followed the “windmill” idea, with a rotor attached to a mast.

Meet this giant that promises to revolutionize energy in the world!

Giant wind turbine, composed of dozens of turbines, was specially designed to be placed on offshore platforms

The giant wind turbine Wind Catching Systems, made up of dozens of turbines, was specially designed to be placed on platforms anchored at sea. Such platforms are also used for gas and oil production. One advantage is that they can be dragged, so they don't need to be assembled in the open sea.

According to its designers, this particular wind turbine occupies approximately 80% less surface on the water compared to conventional plants. “The objective was to maximize energy generation in a concentrated area”, pointed out the company.

“It was clear that a multitude of small turbines gave much greater performance than a single large turbine.” And they are currently working on this concept. A single plant should be able to generate around five times the annual energy of the world's largest single turbines, and its power generation capacity could provide electricity to around 80.000 European households.

Wind Catcher has an estimated useful life of 50 years

Another strength of this technology is related to durability. In addition to the aforementioned low-cost maintenance, the Wind Catcher has an estimated lifespan of 50 years and will allow operators to reach costs much earlier than they should by 2030 or 2035.

Among its short-term goals was to complete technical testing and “offer commercial development solutions”.

Wind Catching Systems is owned by Ferd and North Energy, which in turn is owned by the billionaire Andresen family. The plants must be built mainly by Aibel and sold jointly. Aibel builds offshore and onshore oil and gas production plants as well as wind farms – among others for the world's largest offshore wind farm, the Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm.
