MingYang Smart Energy has introduced the MySE 16.0-242 – a large hybrid-drive wind turbine. A single turbine can generate 80,000 MWh of electricity every year.
Designed for high-wind IEC IB, including typhoon-class IEC TC, the MySE 16.0-242 features a nameplate capacity of 16 MW, a 242-meter diameter rotor, 118-meter-long blades and a 46,000 m2 swept area (equivalent to more than six soccer fields). The nacelle weight of the MySE 16.0-242 is less than 37 tons per MW. All power electronics and MV-transformers have been relocated up tower into the nacelle, simplifying cabling and enhancing system maintenance convenience. An air-tight design protects the nacelle from harsh salt spray corrosion while yet allowing for internal natural air cooling.
MySE 16.0-242 builds on MingYang’s smaller, lightweight offshore models: 5.5 MW, 6.45 MW, 7.25 MW, 8.3 MW and 11 MW.
The MySE 16.0-242 is the start of the MingYang’s new 15 MW+ offshore product platform. In the future, the portfolio of model variants will grow to adapt to various offshore settings, ranging from the typhoon-prone South China Sea to the windy North Sea in Europe.
MingYang has also established a business and engineering center in Hamburg, Germany.
