4 FAQs about Installed capacity and power generation of wind turbines

Does China have a good wind power generation capacity?

China's installed wind power generation capacity has consistently ranked first in the world for an impressive 15-year streak, according to the latest data released by the China Electricity Council on Sunday.

How big is a wind turbine?

Wind turbine capacity has increased over time. In 1985, typical turbines had a rated capacity of 0.05 MW and a rotor diameter of 15 metres. Today's new wind power projects have a turbine capacity in the 3-4 MW range onshore and 8-12 MW offshore.

How much power can a wind turbine produce?

Today's new wind power projects have a turbine capacity in the 3-4 MW range onshore and 8-12 MW offshore. The amount of power that can be harvested from wind depends on the size of the turbine and the length of its blades. The output is proportional to the dimensions of the rotor and to the cube of the wind speed.

What is the onshore wind power capacity in 2020?

For example, in 2020, the annual onshore installed wind power capacity was 88.4 GW, while the offshore installed wind power capacity was 6.9 GW in the same year. Furthermore, 2020 is a record-breaking year for the onshore installed wind power capacity.
