Seven Plus Megawatts This turbine has a rotor diameter of 126 meters (413 feet). called a Enercon E-126. these have inverters instead of synchronous generators, that is to say, a separate controller that converts the wild AC generated into something the grid can use. This means the rotor can run at more optimum and varied speeds. http://www.metaefficient.com/news/new-record-worlds-largest-wind-turbine-7-megawatts.html 7.5 megawatt MBE turbine coastal foreshore, and rights to lease seabed for the generation of renewable energy on the continental shelf within the Renewable Energy Zone which extends out to approximately 200 nautical miles.. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/06/queen-offshore-wind-turbine-power-clipper.php Type of wind turbine Complete details from history, resources, design and constructions, record holding, its components. http://en..wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine 10 MW turbines being the next targe The turbines, from GE and Siemens, don't necessarily represent the largest turbines available, but they'll be the largest ever installed at the wind center, giving scientists a chance to poke and prod the machines to see what kind of stresses the turbines can take. They plan to work on ways to get more power out of existing turbines, and on how to improve the durability of the turbine's components. http://peakenergy.blogspot.com/2009/02/worlds-largest-wind-turbine.html Offshore wind turbines Each turbine weighs over 900 tonnes including the 120 metre tall tower which has to be anchored in the deep water. Each turbine blade is 61.5 metres long and weighs under 18 tonnes. http://www.reuk.co.uk/Worlds-Largest-Wind-Turbine-Generator.htm For Wind Turbine is Bigger Better Giving scientists a chance to poke and prod the machines to see what kind of stresses the turbines can take.
