Mingyang Smart Energy has installed what the company claims to be the world’s largest single-capacity offshore wind turbine, the MySE 18.X-20 MW, in Hainan, China.

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.

According to Mingyang’s website, the wind turbine can withstand winds up to 79.8 m/s.
