World's biggest wind turbines 2022
As of June 2022, the MySE 16.0-242 from MingYang Smart Energy was the largest wind turbine with a 242 rotor diameter and a nameplate capacity of 16 megawatts. As of that time it was still under construction and was expected to be online by 2026.
Wind turbines
The main function of wind turbines is to convert the wind’s kinetic energy into electrical power. Energy generated from wind turbines is undoubtedly one of the cleanest forms of producing electrical power from a renewable source. Wind turbines can be used to generate large amounts of electricity in wind farms. Wind power is considered one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in the world. Newly installed wind power capacity worldwide reached approximately 93.6 gigawatts in 2021.
Vestas: a leader in wind turbine manufacturing
Vestas is one of the largest wind turbine manufacturers worldwide. The Danish-based company’s focus revolves primarily around the production of wind turbines. In 2020, the company had the highest revenue among wind turbine manufacturers, surpassing 18 billion U.S. dollars. Vestas has turbines installed in over 80 countries and had the largest wind commissioned capacity in 2021. Apart from turbine manufacturing, Vestas is also involved in selling, installing, and maintaining operational power plants.
