MaxbÖgl Wind announced that GailDORF, the world's tallest turbine near Gaildorf near Stuttgart, Germany. The height of this three -leaf giant hub reaches 178 meters (584 feet), and the total height from the ground to the tip of the leaf is 264.5 meters.
The new turbine is part of the pilot project of the four -wheel wind power field. The height of other hub can reach 155 meters and is equipped with a customized 3.4 MW GE generator. The project also sees a novel storage concept. The so -called water battery should allow turbines to continue running when they are usually curbed or completely stopped, such as in strong winds.
The wind power generation units with passive storage ponds in the pumping storage water power plant in the valley also pushed the water turbine to 40 meters away. Among this system, the height of the wheel hub is every 1 meter, which is expected to increase the annual energy output by 1%, and the higher center height also leads to less wind turbulence and better air volume, making these giant objects particularly suitable for inland wind power Poor places.
The water storage pool that has been designed as a 70 MW hours is connected to the hydropower station through the underground polyethylene tube. The company explained that the so -called water batteries are also called natural power storage in the GailDORF pilot project, which can store the remaining electricity in the grid and release electricity when necessary. As a short -term storage facility, it helps maintain the stability of the grid while ensuring continuous continuous power supply. Pumping power stations can be switched between production and storage within 30 seconds. The GailDORF pilot project is expected to begin to enter the power grid early next year.
