Hamburg, 29 June 2018. The Nordex Group is supplying ABO Wind, an
international project developer, with two N149/4.0-4.5 turbines, each with a
nominal output of 4.5 MW, for the "Wennerstorf II" wind farm. Less than
eleven months have passed since the launch of this powerful turbine type and
now building permission has been granted for the site to the south-west of
Hamburg. Following its installation over the course of this year the Nordex
group will conduct sound level and performance tests, among others, on the
turbines, and this will form the basis of the IEC certification. This order
also brings the total amount of wind energy projects installed worldwide
jointly by ABO Wind and the Nordex Group to 500 MW.
The "Wennerstorf II" site is characterised by wind speeds of around 6.5
metres per second. Thanks to the low level of turbulence at the site, the
N149/4.0-4.5, the output of which can be variably configured between 4.0 and
4.5 MW depending on site conditions, can be operated at its maximum level of
4.5 MW. The large rotor sweep of the N149/4.0-4.5, its high rated capacity,
and the hub height of 125 metres, all mean that the wind farm will generate
an annual energy yield of around 30 million kWh of clean electricity. This
is equivalent to a capacity factor of 38 per cent. Furthermore, the sound
power level of the turbines will not exceed 106.1 dB(A).
"The announcement of the N149/4.0-4.5 in September 2017 marked a huge
increase in the yield level of our product fleet for light-wind sites. The
first turbines will be installed soon and then we will be able to
demonstrate the efficiency of the machines in the field. Precisely for
auction markets such as Germany, the N149 offers customers a commercially
attractive solution against the background of declining remuneration rates,"
says José Luis Blanco, CEO of Nordex SE.
Joachim Bock, Head of the Planning department for Lower Saxony and
Schleswig-Holstein at ABO Wind: "We are highly satisfied with our
long-standing collaboration with Nordex, having realised projects totalling
500 MW. This is another reason why we decided to use the latest Nordex Group
technology for the repowering of our 'Wennerstorf II' wind farm and to make
it available for complete, independent measurement."
