Do You Know? China Design the World's Largest Wind Turbine

China is making a prototype wind turbine for the largest wind power.

President Sinovel Wind Group Co. Ltd. firms that developed the prototype said that wind turbines can be placed either on land, offshore to tidal areas.

The kind that is being created Sinovel is the first made in the country. Previously, Germany was the only country able to independently develop a turbine-largest in terms of capacity and is the only country to have tested a prototype.

The turbine will have propeller blades along the 128-meters in diameter that will catch the wind with a large capacity and is expected to be more efficient in utilizing wind resources.

Tao said the original production of large turbine will accelerate the development of offshore wind power in this country.

China racing to exploit offshore wind with their first wind turbine operates with a total capacity of 100 MW which is operated in Shanghai in August 2010, by utilizing the 34 mill.

In the same year, China also has completed the public tender for wind power capacity of 1GW offshore in eastern Jiangsu Province plans to start construction this year.

Sinovel addition, other companies in China are also developing a turbine with a large capacity that is Xiangtan Electrical Machinery Co. Ltd (XEMC), based in Hunan Province. In October last year they produced a prototype turbine power of 5mW.

Before 2000 China needs to rely only wind turbines and equipment imported from Europe.

Chinese wind turbine maker has expanded its output through a production license or design along with foreign partners. China has been making wind turbines more than 80. Three wind turbine maker in China, Sinovel, Goldwind and Dongfang Electric, now a part of the 10 best-in-turbine maker world.

Until late 2010, electricity generated by the turbines that generate electricity installed at 44.7GW. Is the largest in the world by donating donate 23 percent of total world electricity.
