Partially constructed at a special and very spacious seaside facility, this offshore wind giant took over from MingYang's MySE 16.0-242 as the biggest wind turbine on the planet.Well, increasing the swept area of your fan increases the slice of sky you're harvesting energy from, and it bumps up your overall yield.One of the biggest costs in an offshore installation is the work needed at the sea bed to root these huge turbines down and give the wind something to push against."Compared to the installation of 13MW models," reads a statement by MingYang on LinkedIn, "the higher output of the MySE18.X-28X would save 18 units required for a 1GW wind farm, shaving off construction costs by 120,000 - 150,000 USD/MW."For reference, the 1.2-GW Hornsea One Project, built using 7-MW turbines, is estimated to have cost "at least UK£4.2 billion" (US$5.153 billion), so while $150 million can't be considered chump change, it might represent a couple of percent on a project this big."
