CHINA MAKES HUGE WIND POWER BREAKTHROUGH – Engineers in China have developed a new wind turbine that can produce enough energy to power 40,000 homes. The wind turbine is an offshore prototype that successfully produced 44.8 kilowatt hours of electricity per revolution.
The firm, CSSC Haizhuang, said in a press release “The H260-18MW turbine will make a great contribution to the improvement of turbine capacity and efficiency, as well as reducing the LCOE [levelized cost of energy] of offshore wind farms, and has market prospects in high-speed wind and deep-sea areas.”
