Siemens
World’s most powerful offshore wind turbine
Wind turbine maker Siemens Gamesa unveiled a new
SG 14-222 DD offshore Direct Drive wind turbine with 14 MW capacity. The capacity can reach up to 15 MW using the company’s Power Boost function, a 222-meter diameter rotor, 108-meter long blades and a 39,000-square-meter swept area. Approxi- mately 30 SG 14-222 DD offshore wind turbines could cover the annual electricity consumption of
Bilbao, Spain, Siemens Gamesa said. The turbines have already been earmarked for the proposed 2,640-MW Dominion Energy Coastal Virginia Offshore
Wind (CVOW) project in the U.S. The prototype will be ready in 2021 with the turbines expected to be com- mercially available in 2024.
