BFG designed and manufactured the world's largest composite wind turbine spinner for the SG 14-222 DD offshore turbine, reducing transportation costs by approximately 90%.
The SG 14-222 DD is the world's most powerful offshore wind turbine, with a power rating of 14MW and a rotor diameter of 222 metres. The spinner needed to cover over 100 square metres of surface area — enough to house three rotor blades, each measuring 108 metres in length.
BFG International's innovative segmented design solution allowed the spinner to be manufactured into smaller components that could be transported in standard shipping containers, then assembled on site. This approach reduced capital expenditure and transportation costs by almost 90%.
The success of this project has led to a long-term partnership with Siemens Gamesa, with BFG set to supply composite spinners for over 144 wind turbines over the next two years, at a rate of 6 spinner sets per month.
This achievement contributes to advancing the adoption of clean energy solutions and international goals towards net zero and decarbonisation.
