222m rotor diameter, 14MW direct drive generator, produces a lot of energy over a 24 hour period! Bigger is better!

Re: Big boy turbine
That is impressive. It is a 14 megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine with a capacity of up to 15 MW with Power Boost. It produced 359MWh in a 24 hour period which is only one less than its theoretical maximum of 360MWh (15*24).
Re: Big boy turbine
I remember when the first 1MW turbine was a big deal!
The technology for wind power really is maturing fast!

Re: Big boy turbine
The video that was shared the other day on here about "how big can wind turbines get" makes for very interesting viewing too with this one in mind.

Re: Big boy turbine
I looked at the capacity factors for offshore wind turbines on Andrew's page the other day. Also interesting to see the newest ones generally well exceed 40% capacity factors. The Hywind floating demo is over 50% after a few years operation. Clearly the higher the capacity factor the less storage or basleoad we will otherwise need (I think) so also hugely encouraging.
I wanted to do the joint capacity factor of several recent wind farms as, if the simple average capacity factor is, say, 45%, the joint capacity factor should be higher. But the maths were beyond me.
