Why are companies building bigger wind turbines? 🤓
. As the world looks to adopt greener ways of meeting its energy demands, offshore wind farms are being explored since they do not impinge on the limited landmass.Therefore, manufacturers are aiming to make bigger turbines that can generate more power per unit installed. Last year, we had reported how a Chinese manufacturer is aiming to build a wind turbine that couldOn its part, Siemens Gamesa is making its biggest wind turbine yet, the SG-14 236 DD.
What makes this possible are the B115 blades that are 377 feet long, which is approximately 33 feet longer than a FIFA-recommended soccer field's length. What you see in the video above isn't the blade but the mold that will be used to manufacture them. Siemens' technology allows them to make the blade without any glued joints in one piece and engineers at the Denmark facility will use the mold to put together fiberglass and epoxy resin that majorly makes up the blade.
Once the B115 blades are manufactured, they will be tested in a prototype turbine by the company later this year.Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
