READ MORE"The height of offshore wind turbines is quite a bit higher than land-based wind," the DOE''s technology manager for offshore wind R&D, Nathan McKenzie, explained. The next step in offshore wind is to deploy turbines that have a capacity of 15MW. For comparison, the average offshore turbine size installed in 2020 was around 8MW, which
READ MOREInnovations from DOE, other research institutions, and industry have allowed wind turbine hub heights and sizes of rotors (blades) to grow and increase energy production. Since the 1980s, new pencil notches have been added to the door frame for wind turbine growth, as average U.S. commercial wind turbines'' hub height has
READ MOREHow big is a wind turbine? Industrial wind turbines are a lot bigger than ones you might see in a schoolyard or behind someone''s house. The widely used GE 1.5-megawatt model, for example, consists of 116-ft blades atop a 212-ft tower for a total height of 328 feet. The blades sweep a vertical airspace of just under an acre.
