The Most Powerful Wind Turbine in the World Manufactured by GE Renewable Energy Will Be Installed at the Largest Offshore Wind Farm in the World

The largest wind turbine in the world is being developed by GE Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of the giant General Electric. The powerful turbine has been named Haliade-X, and it will be launched this year 2021. To deliver the project, the American conglomerate GE plans to invest 400 million dollars.

The offshore Haliade-X turbine of 13 MW will be used in the first two phases of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the United Kingdom, with a total of 190 units to be installed starting in 2023.

This will mark the first installation of the most powerful wind turbine in the world operational to date at what will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world.

What is Haliade-X – The Largest and Most Powerful Offshore Wind Turbine in the World Manufactured by General Electric Renewable Energy?

Announced for the first time by General Electric Renewable Energy in March 2018, the Haliade-X will be the largest and most powerful offshore wind turbine in the world at its launch, generating 45% more renewable energy than the most productive turbine currently on the market.

The largest offshore wind turbine in operation, the Haliade-X prototype from GE, has been upgraded, or “uprated,” and is now operating at a power of 13 MW.

This upgraded Haliade-X version, of 13 MW more, will continue to feature blades that are 107 meters long and a rotor that is 220 meters in diameter and will be capable of generating 4% more Annual Energy Production (AEP) than the previous 12 MW version of the prototype.

The Haliade-X will also include several digital tools to help customers perform remote diagnostics and spend less time at sea working on the turbine.

Each turbine will be able to produce enough renewable energy to power 16,000 homes, with a 750 MW wind farm creating enough energy for a million homes.

The Offshore Wind Energy Sector Worldwide

The President and CEO of General Electric Renewable Energy, Jérôme Pécresse, said: “The renewable energy sector took more than 20 years to install the first 17 GW (Gigawatt) of offshore wind energy.”

According to Pécresse, the offshore wind energy sector is expected to grow by 90 GW over the next 12 years. “The Haliade-X demonstrates General Electric’s commitment to the offshore wind segment and will establish a new benchmark for the cost of electricity, thus driving further offshore growth,” he points out.

The vast majority of the equipment needed for the Haliade-X will be built in a factory in Cherbourg, France, creating 550 jobs in the process over the next two years.

John Lavelle, CEO of the offshore wind energy division of General Electric Renewable Energy, added: “The Haliade-X 13 MW will help our customers in an increasingly competitive offshore environment and, due to its size and digital functionality, will provide significant value in manufacturing, installation, and operation.”

General Electric Renewable Energy is a 10 billion dollar company working in onshore and offshore wind energy, hydropower, and new technologies such as concentrated solar power, and will lead the Haliade-X project with financial support from its parent company. The company employs 22,000 people in 55 countries, and has already installed more than 400 GW of capacity worldwide.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
