For the Chinese MYSE 16-260 example, the swept area of 540,000 square feet quoted does not agree with a rotor diameter of 260 meters (853 ft). Assuming a hub diameter of 10 meters, a swept area of 570,000 square feet would be more reasonable. Also the energy generation per revolution of 34.2 kWh/Rev quoted would imply an RPM of 7.8 at rated power, which is well above the 5.0 RPM that would correspond to a more normal TSR (Tip Speed Ratio) of 7.0 an tip speed of around 69 meters/sec. The numbers quoted for the GE HALIADE-X example look more reasonable, except for the capacity Factor that calculates at 60% which is very high. Capacity factor depends strongly on local wind patterns and is therefore site specific. Globally from 2010 to 2021, the average capacity factor for offshore wind power never went above 45%. Since 2010, China has grown their electricity generation from renewables by a factor of over three times that of the USA. There is no question that they are a serious player, however the laws of physics (and simple math) still apply.
Worked on a windmill farm project in Mojave California they were 130 g e wind turbines the blades were 250 ft each it was a awesome job we installed 17 of them in 5 months it was a good union job operating engineers local 12
What was the pollution cost of production? What is the expected life span? What are the maintenance costs over that life span? Is EVERY SINGLE PART built to the exacting standards of the engineers design? Or did they agree to the project and then make a few "COST SAVING" decisions? Every video about wind turbines is obsessed with the magnificent output of bigger, taller, higher output turbines. The engineering reality is any Venn diagram will locate the most reasonable confluence of inputs and outputs far from any extremes. Everyone who has a "BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER" philosophy has never done any real engineering. On paper they might be built to last but has anything built in the last 50 years lasted as long as anyone said it would??? This is another colossal waste of resources that won't be realized until most of the money has been spent and can't be recovered.
Wind turbines are built to last 20-25 years, There have been alot of individual studys on the effects of wild-life (most notably, bats & birds) and they deemed that while some to infact impact the blades and die, they don't pose any risk to extinction or bad levels to wild-life, And yes every single part is built to specific building codes, and yes this means if one part fails inspection, the entire lot does. 11 g of Carbon Emitted Per kWh from the turbine, similarly, coal is around 1100g per kWh, Constructing a wind-turbine uses 1,701 tons of CO2, i hope this answers all your questions.
in meters please
Feet, square feet, miles per hour... please include metric unit measurements in your video.
Thank you for your feedback, we'll do it in our upcoming videos.
Also use units that match the words. There is a difference between miles and mph or kW and kWhr.
Use Google. It's easy.

Production in megawatt from single unit?
Giant turbine + natural wind tunnel in that part of the world. They're building it between China and Taiwan

Why not just have more smaller ones?
You know theres a whole world outside the 'excited states' with bigger, better stuff, you should try it sometime.
The problem in The US is that the electrical grid can't handle the additional power available or demand for it.
The first windmills was invented before 1100 and it was NOT in USA!!
Clean electricity and sustainability on this planet.
regards from turkey...
The Goldwind GWH252-16 is 16 MW even with 252m diameter,,,,So Myse 16-260 is 8m longer diameter,,so it shuld be have 18 MW capacity
Hmm..how about the generator? 😮😂😂😂

Yeah, yeah, yeah- JingPing's wingding thing..
🥰🥰💗💗😍😍
thanks to western technology.
