Siemens Gamesa set a fresh record in wind generation. It has been set by Siemens's SG 14-222 DD offshore prototype.
This new world record comes less than a year afterinstalled the SG 14-222 DD prototype offshore wind turbine at its test centre in Østerild, Denmark — in November 2021. The SG 14-222 DD can provide enough energy to power around 18,000 households annually.
And how did Siemens Gamesa achieve this? “We went bigger — for the better. We have enhanced and upgraded our proven Direct Drive technology. Raising the rating of our newest turbine to 14 megawatts has been made possible by increasing the rotor diameter to 222 meters — using the 108-meter-long B108 blades. This enables the SG 14-222 DD to offer an increase in Annual Energy Production of more than 25% compared to its predecessor in similar conditions.”.
He continues with a few words on the future: “This turbine for me represents the essence of what we do: a cleaner world for future generations. The SG 14-236 DD is the largest turbine we have ever made. It will be instrumental for our future and will be a massive contributor to the world’s energy transition.
