Offshore wind turbine manufacturer Adwen and turbine rotor blades supplier LM Wind Power have unveiled the world’s longest wind turbine blade. The 88.4 meter wind turbine blade has been designed for Adwen’s AD 8-180 wind turbine, an 8 MW wind turbine with a 180 meter rotor diameter. The image shown above is of the very first of the wind turbine blades for this new design, manufactured at LM Wind Power’s factory in Lunderskov, Denmark. The new 8 MW wind turbine is a big step towards lowering the LCoE of offshore wind energy, with the LM 88.4 P blade being designed with manufacturability and reliability at the forefront of developers’ minds.
