Interestingly, it has the ability to withstand strong winds of 79.8 m\/s.<\/p>\n<p>With a flexible power rating range from 18. X to 20 MW, this facility is a powerhouse of renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>The unit has a modular, lightweight design. This massive nacelle houses the turbine\u2019s generator, gearbox, and other critical components.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the turbine has a rotor diameter spanning from 260 to 292 meters (853 to 958 feet). Reportedly, this covers \u201ca maximum swept area equivalent to nine soccer fields.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the turbine can generate 80 million kWh annually at an average wind speed of 8.5 m\/s.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, this turbine will help to protect the environment by reducing 66,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide gas emissions and help power 96,000 households.<\/p>\n<p>The turbine\u2019s modular, lightweight design is optimized for efficient transportation, installation, and operation. Reportedly, the massive turbine is also suited for deep ocean placement.<\/p>\n<p>It is designed to withstand the harshest of conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China&#8217;s coastal reg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=896"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":897,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896\/revisions\/897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ftpol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
