26 Sep 2024 | Hamburg (renewablepress) - The Nordex Group is expanding its range of towers for the N175/6.X turbine with a hybrid tower with the highest hub height to date of 200 metres. Due to the large hub height of 200 meters, the turbine's rotor with a diameter of 175 meters moves in wind currents with much higher speeds and less turbulence. This is advantageous in locations with lower wind speeds. The tower is based on the design of the Nordex hybrid tower developed in-house, which the company has already successfully tested in 2024 with two prototypes and a complete wind farm in Finland. The new 200-metre hybrid tower underlines the planned exp...... read more...
