Clean Energy Solutions Provider Siemens Gamesa continues to sign remarkable projects on wind turbines. For a while, the company, which has been working on the first wind turbine with a higher capacity of 21 MW, has received the necessary certificates to move this project in the prototype stage to the next step.

A significant part of the wind turbines of Siemens Gamesa in the open seas are located off the coast of Denmark. Denmark requires that wind turbines, which are larger than 5 square meters of the rotor area, to obtain a certificate from the DNV. Therefore, Siemens Gamesa had to receive a certificate from the DNV to implement this project announced last year. Now that the DNV gave the green light to this project and gave the company to 2027, paved the way for the project to move to the next stage.

Siemens Gamesa’s new generation open sea wind turbines will be able to produce 21.5 MW power

This prototype with SG DD-276 will be able to produce power up to 21.5 MW with a 276-meter rotor diameter. The company’s largest wind turbines, which are currently installed in the open seas, have a rotor diameter of 230 meters and can produce up to 15 MW. In other words, these new turbines will provide a capacity increase of approximately 40 percent.

Siemens Gamesa aims to establish the world’s largest wind turbine by 2030. However, it may not be that easy to achieve this goal. Because recently impressive projects are being implemented in China. Chinese Dongfang Electric Corporation introduced the world’s largest wind turbines a few months ago. In the same period, the Chinese Sany Renewable Energy showed the test unit to test the wind turbines of 35 MW.

China does not seem to intention to lose leadership in this regard. However, Siemens Gamesa seems to be in front of its competitors in the European market. Siemens Gamesa is expected to add 150 more GW to the installed power capacity of wind turbines floating in the next 10 years, which will put the company in front of its competitors.
