New Record: World’s Largest Wind Turbine (7+ Megawatts) / クリッピング Meta Efficient（独、世界最大の風力発電所6MW超級完成間近）

" The world’s largest wind turbine is now the Enercon E-126. This turbine has a rotor blade width of 126 meters (413 feet). The E-126 is a more sophisticated version of the E-112, formerly the world’s largest wind turbine and rated at 6 megawatts. "

　ドイツのEmdenという町に6ＭＷ超級の世界最大の風力発電所が建設されているそうです。風力発電機の風車の直径は、126mで定格は6ＭＷということですが、性能的には、7MW超級の実力を備えた増速ギアをもたない大型風力発電機ということです。メーカーは、Enercon 社でE-126という形式とのことです。

" ENERCON is currently installing two E-126/6 MW WECs on the Rysumer Nacken in Emden, Germany. This new ENERCON model is a sophisticated version of the E-112 (6 MW rated power) ? the world’s most powerful wind turbine to date. ENERCON GmbH, the project’s builder/owners, will be testing several types of storage systems in combination with the multi-megawatt wind turbines.

This is the debut of precast concrete towers for ENERCON wind turbines of this dimension. Previously, in-situ concrete (125 m hub height) or steel towers (97 m hub height) were used for the E-112/6 MW. The towers for the E-126/6 MW will be 131 meters tall and made up of 36 concrete segments manufactured at WEC Turmbau Emden GmbH. Once completed, the hub height will reach 135 metres and the overall height an impressive 198 metres.
