Ming Yang Smart Energy has unveiled a new generation of wind power technologies, including a 50 MW floating offshore wind turbine—the world’s largest single-unit capacity—and a next-generation medium-speed compact semi-direct drive (MCD) product line. The announcement marks a major leap toward commercial-scale deep-sea wind power deployment.
The 50 MW turbine, part of the OceanX platform, is based on the Y-series dual-rotor design. Two 25 MW powertrain modules are mounted on a V-shaped tower and integrated into a single floating system engineered for waters deeper than 40 meters. The design offers strong typhoon resistance and expands access to deep-sea wind resources.
Alongside this breakthrough, Ming Yang introduced its advanced MCD series, designed to make wind power “more reliable, more efficient, more grid-friendly, more economical, and more intelligent.”
The turbines feature flexible-pin load balancing, centralized lubrication, and AI-enhanced control systems that optimize performance and extend service life. Enhanced grid-forming capability ensures stability for long-distance offshore transmission, while a compact nacelle design lowers maintenance costs and improves efficiency.
The MCD technology range covers both onshore and offshore applications, from high-altitude and desert locations to deep-sea environments. It supports DRU-based HVdc transmission, enabling lower-cost offshore substations and more reliable power delivery for remote grids.
Ming Yang stated that it will continue to lead through innovation, strengthening partnerships to accelerate the global transition toward zero-carbon energy.
