The world’s largest 26-Megawatt offshore wind turbine has been unveiled in east China’s a fully domestically designed and manufactured unit which symbolizes a milestone achievement in the country’s Green Energy Development.

  China has surged to become the global leader in wind and solar energy, surpassing its 2030 renewable capacity targets six years early by installing over 1,200 GW of solar and wind power, reaching 1,482 GW in late 2025. Driven by massive state investments and strategic planning, the country now produces more electricity from renewables than from coal. 
  While China's wind power development is unprecedented in scale, there are challenges regarding the exportability of its technology and its overall quality compared to international standards.
The world’s largest 26-Megawatt offshore wind turbine has been unveiled in east China’s a fully domestically designed and manufactured unit which symbolizes a milestone achievement in the country’s Green Energy Development.
   The 26-megawatt offshore wind turbine boasts remarkable dimensions. Its hub center is 185 meters high, equivalent to a 63-story residential building. 
   The designed rotor diameter exceeds 310 meters, with a swept area exceeding 10 standard football fields, making it the largest turbine globally in terms of both capacity and size.
    One of the key achievements of this project is the fully localized design and manufacturing.
“We have overcome the bottleneck of relying on imported bearings for direct-drive systems.
   We have achieved complete independence and control in both bearings’ control systems and the supporting components. Whether in terms of technical specifications or efficiency and reliability, we are at the forefront of the world.
   The wind turbine is designed specifically for medium- to high-wind-speed offshore areas. With an average wind speed of 10 meters per second, a single unit can generate 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually.
  With high efficiency, this turbine is enough to power 55,000 households for a year, saving more than 30,000 tons of standard coal and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by over 80,000 tons.
“In a 500-megawatt offshore wind project, using a 26-megawatt turbine compared to an 18-megawatt turbine would reduce the total number of turbines by over 30 percent and lower the cost per kilowatt-hour by more than 10 percent.
   This offers strong equipment support for achieving cost parity in offshore wind power.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
