OceanX, a giant twin-rotor wind turbine, went to sea in China
Mingyang's OceanX, the world's largest floating wind platform, has successfully set sail. It is made of ultra-high-strength concrete, which ensures its durability and reduces maintenance costs.
The platform is equipped with 2 MySE16.6(T) wind turbines with a blade diameter of 182m and a total weight of 15,000 tons. It is capable of anchoring in waters deeper than 35 meters and withstanding hurricanes with wind speeds of up to 260 km/h.
OceanX can generate more than 16 MW of power and is capable of producing up to 54,000 MWh of electricity annually, enough to power around 30,000 homes. The platform automatically pivots towards the wind to maximize its power. The single-point mooring and positioning provides flexibility to the plant's rotors, thereby minimizing the risk of damage even in extreme weather conditions.
Over the next few days, the platform is expected to travel 354 kilometers to its final destination, the Yangjiang wind farm in Yangjiang, Gandong
