Evolving from the company’s previous 14-16 MW platforms, the wind turbine highlights modularity, lightweight design, high efficiency, and reliability, said Mingyang.
The unit features flexible power ratings ranging from 18.X to 20 MW, coupled with rotor diameters from 260-292 metres, covering a maximum swept area equivalent to nine soccer fields.
The wind turbine is designed for global deployment in medium-to-high wind speed regions, with specific suitability for typhoon-prone sites.
According to Mingyang, the MySE 18.X-20MW model is equipped with active anti-typhoon technology, capable of withstanding Category 17 typhoons (56.1-61.2 m/s).
