OceanX embarked on its journey from Guangzhou to the Yangjiang Mingyang Qingzhou IV offshore wind farm in Guangdong, China. After a 191-nautical-mile, over 50-hour tow, the platform's arrival marks the commencement of a new era in green energy, poised to set the standard for offshore wind power technology.
Developed by Mingyang Group, this floating wind turbine platform is arranged in a 'V' shape and carries two 8.3 MW offshore wind turbines. With a total capacity of 16.6 MW, it can be used in a wide range of sea areas around the world with water depth of more than 35 meters.
The OceanX impeller reaches 219 meters at its highest point and a maximum width of about 369 meters in the air. The whole wind turbine platform has a total displacement of 15,000 tons, and a towing draft of 5.5 meters.
Once operational, it is expected to produce 54 million kWh annually, enough to power 30,000 three-person households for a year.
