"Siemens Gamesa’s 14-222 DD offshore wind turbine prototype has, according to
the Spanish-German wind giant today, set a world record for the most power
output by a single wind turbine in a 24-hour period: 359 megawatt-hours.
This would be enough energy, according to the company, for a mid-sized electric
vehicle – think a Tesla Model 3 – to drive around 1.12 million miles (1.8
million km).
Siemens Gamesa’s huge wind turbine achieved this power output milestone only 10
months after it produced its first electricity and delivered it to the grid at
the test center in Østerild, Denmark.
The SG 14-222 DD is a 14 megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine with a capacity of
up to 15 MW with Power Boost.
It features a 222-meter (728 feet) diameter rotor, 108-meter-long
(354-feet-long) B108 blades that are cast in a single piece and can now be
recycled, and a swept area of 39,000 square meters (419,792 square feet).
The SG 14-222 DD can provide enough energy to power around 18,000 households
annually."
