The company’s most powerful commercially available offshore wind turbine, the MySE11-203, features 99-metre blades.

”Mingyang’s technology, such as carbon fiber, airfoils and multi-web design, plays key role in defining the 111.5m blade’s high aerodynamic performance, strength and reliability. In the process, the blade underwent thorough lightning simulation tests to ensure optimal reliability and safety against lightening as well,” the turbine maker said in a social media post.

The 111.5-metre blade will most likely be fitted on the company’s recently launched MySE 12 MW hybrid drive, typhoon-resistant offshore wind turbine.
