World s largest wind turbine blade

But making something this massive was about more than just scaling up. It’s super strong, smarter, and lighter than others in its league, with a specially designed anti-lightning feature to withstand extreme weather.

SANY used such cutting-edge tech as high-performance design of the airfoil – that’s the cross-sectional shape of the blade – optimized airfoil layout, and manufacturing processes that include robotics for precision fiberglass cutting and a unique technique for creating large composite blades.

The world’s longest onshore wind turbine blade will be attached to the company’s 15-megawatt (MW) wind turbine unit, which debuted at the China Wind Power 2023 exhibition in Beijing and was then the world’s largest wind turbine.

The China Electricity Council said in its latest annual report that wind and solar would make up around 40% of the country’s installed power generation capacity by the end of 2024 – up from 36% in 2023.

We introduced the LM 88.4 p in 2016 as the longest, most advanced, wind turbine blade in the world. Today, blades are growing in size at a rapid pace, including our largest blade to date, the LM 107.0 p, which builds on our experience and knowledge gained from past record-breakers. Explore what we learned from the designing, manufacturing, transportation and testing of the LM 88.4 p in 2016, to manufacture the next generation of ultra-long wind turbine blades.
