China Three Gorges Corp. and partner Goldwind said Nov. 25 that they have built the largest offshore wind turbine, a 16-MW unit produced in China’s Fujian Province, with a 146-meter turbine hub and a 252-m dia. rotor that generates 34.2 kWh of power in a full rotating turn.
“China's wind turbine manufacturing has led the globe after the leap-forward development,” Lei Mingshan, chairman of China Three Gorges, said in a statement.
