The Haliade-X was the industry’s first 14 MW offshore wind turbine to operate. It is the only 12+ MW offshore wind turbine platform that has been operating for over two years, specifically at its Rotterdam prototype site, giving us tangible experience operating the turbine in different conditions at different output levels. It has also received independent certification from 12 MW to 13.6 MW, making it a proven and bankable technology for customers seeking financing.

Key features from the Haliade-X offshore wind turbine
The Haliade-X offshore turbine features a 14 MW, 13 MW or 12 MW capacity, 220-meter rotor, a 107-meter blade, and digital capabilities.
Having been independently certified at up to 13.6 MW of output and for Typhoon conditions, making it the only turbine ‘bankable’ for customers seeking to finance projects, it also features a 60-64% capacity factor above industry standard. Capacity factor compares how much energy was generated against the maximum that could have been produced at continuous full power operation during a specific period of time.

Power meets efficiency
The combination of a bigger rotor, longer blades and higher capacity factor makes Haliade-X less sensitive to wind speed variations, increasing predictability and the ability to generate more power at low wind speeds.
One Haliade-X 14 MW turbine can generate up to 74 GWh of gross annual energy production, saving up to 52,000 metric tons of CO2, which is the equivalent of the emissions generated by 11,000 vehicles* in one year.
*According to wind conditions on a typical German North Sea site.
Bottom line impact
The Haliade-X can bring higher profitability to customers with significant savings across offshore wind turbine manufacturing, installation cycle times, service and repairs.
While the Haliade-X wind turbine is well-suited for high-to-medium wind speed environments, its larger capacity can produce energy even at lower wind speeds, increasing profits and dramatically lowering the levelized cost of energy.
With fewer machines and offshore wind turbine foundations to install, in addition to reduced cycle times and simplified operation, the Haliade-X generates robust savings on overall project cost (CAPEX Balance of Plant**) over the life of a windfarm.
**Balance of Plant (BOP) is the costs attributed to one unit over its lifetime – O&M, operating expenses.
Digital tools
Digital tools are currently being developed exclusively for the offshore environment with an operations approach, that will help customers perform remote diagnostics, improve time management (less time at sea) and optimize operations.
