Nordex: first N117/3600 to start operation in November
Hamburg, 16 November 2016. Just a short time after the market launch of the
N117/3600, in September 2016 the Nordex Group received the first order from
WIND-consult Measuring Company for a project with the new turbine for IEC-2
sites.
In November the first N117/3600 is to start operation in Bargeshagen, near
Rostock. With a wind speed of 7.1 m/s at hub height the site offers good
conditions for measuring the IEC-2 turbine. In addition to checking the
power curve, the Nordex Group will have the sound power level and grid
compatibility of the turbine checked and analysed by the experienced
measuring institute WIND-Consult on the basis of the measurements recorded
in Bargeshagen during the now starting strong wind period. This means that
for the start of the series in summer 2017 the turbine will be fully
certified,including the type certificate.
The turbine has already passed the type test for tower heights of 91 m and
106 m. Therefore customers can have projects with this turbine approved
immediately. The same applies for the N131/3600, the manufacturer's new
light-wind turbine, with the 106 metre tubular steel tower. Nordex is
already able to install both models.
"The fact that our customer can commission the first N117/3600 so soon
after its official market launch shows the great confidence placed in our
product development. Our engineers are constantly working on making our
turbines even more efficient in order to enable our customers to achieve a
low cost of energy," says Patxi Landa, COO Sales & Marketing of the Nordex
Group. "We are highly satisfied with our collaboration with Nordex and
pleased that we have been able to provide a site for the complete
measurement of the prototype for the very first turbine with the repowering
of our measurement field," adds Joachim Schwabe, managing director of the
measurement field company.
At the middle of next year the manufacturer will be installing two
N117/2400s next to the N117/3600 at the Bargeshagen site. Nordex will be
taking charge of servicing all three turbines for a period of 18 years on
the basis of a Premium Contract.
