The Vestas V90-2MW is a three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine designed and manufactured by Vestas [citation needed] with versions for wind classes IIA and IIIA. [ 1 ] The V90-2MW has a tubular steel tower between 80 metres (260 ft) and 125 metres (410 ft) height.
She has the capacity for ten wind turbines at a time. The whole ship can be jacked up out of the sea on her six legs, to provide a stable platform when installing wind turbines. The jacking system uses hydraulics. [4] She can raise herself between 3 metres (10 ft) and 46 metres (151 ft) above the sea. [2]
The exploration of offshore wind energy started with the introduction of monopile foundations for wind turbines in a range from 1 up to 3MW in water depth of about 10 to 20m during the 1990s. [2] Germany has been facing water depths up to 40m, when it joined this new field of renewable energy .
A wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. As of 2020, hundreds of thousands of large turbines, in installations known as wind farms, were generating over 650 gigawatts of power, with 60 GW added each year. [1]
The next largest wind turbines and competitors to the V164 are the Siemens Wind Power SWT-8.0-154 and Adwen AD 8-180 offshore turbines with a rated capacity of 8 MW, [16] and the prototypes of the French 12—14 MW GE Haliade and the 16 MW MingYang. [17] The Enercon E-126 turbine is rated up to 7.58 MW, but only installed onshore. [18] [7]
Enercon E-126 wind turbine. The Enercon E-126 [1] is an onshore [2] [3] wind turbine model manufactured by the German company Enercon.With a hub height of 135 m (443 ft), rotor diameter of 126 m (413 ft) and a total height of 198 m (650 ft), the turbine can generate up to 7.58 megawatts of power, making it the largest wind turbine in the world (by nameplate capacity) for several years, until ...
