NEW: wind turbine by GE Renewable Energy

GE’s 2.2-2.4MW, 107m rotor wind turbine is an advanced evolution of the 1.x series, providing a 35% increase in Annual Energy Production (AEP) over its predecessor, the 1.85-87 (at a 2.4 rating). Designed for medium wind speeds, the 2.2-2.4MW turbine provides a 51% increase in swept area with the 107m rotor, and an extra 350-450 kW output at rated wind speed compared to the 1.85-87 turbine, improving project economics for wind developers. GE’s proprietary Advanced Loads Control combines drive train sensors with Mark* VIe turbine controller capabilities to individually pitch blades and improve loads handling performance.

GE’s 2.0-2.3MW, 116m rotor wind turbine offers a 27% increase in swept area when compared to the 1.7-103 turbine, resulting in a 26% increase in Annual Energy Production (AEP) at 7.5 m/s (at a 2.3 rating). This increase in blade swept area allows greater energy capture and improved project economics for wind developers. GE’s 2.0-116 turbine has a 53.3% gross capacity factor at 7.5 m/s, a class leading performance. GE’s proprietary 56.9 meter blade is designed specifically for the 2.0-2.3MW rating of this platform, enabling longer length, lower loads and improved performance.
