Nordex installs the first N131/3600
Hamburg (renewablepress) - The Nordex Group has received the first order for the installation of its second turbine introduced in September. The manufacturer will be setting up its light-wind N131/3600 turbine in December for GP Joule, a project developer.
The site of the project is located near Husum at Windtestfeld Nord in Schleswig-Holstein, where the turbine is expected to produce an annual energy yield of 12.9 million kWh, equating to a capacity factor of more than 40 percent. Nordex will be installing the turbine on a 106 metre tubular steel tower. After commissioning the manufacturer is to have the sound power level and technical performance of the N131/3600 measured there for site-specific certification.
Nordex had only presented the N131/3600 to the market publicly, together with the N117/3600, in September. Both turbines have been type-tested for 106 metre towers and the N117/3600 for 91 metre towers as well.
The N131/3600 is able to produce a good ten percent more energy compared to its forerunner, the N131/3600, thanks to the 20 percent capacity increase. Once again particular attention was paid to a low sound power level when this model was developed.
"As a project developer increasingly involved in the wind sector, the construction and operation of the Nordex N131/3600 virtually on our doorstep is an exciting project for us. The test field offers us an opportunity to thoroughly test this turbine class in real operation at a wind-intensive site from planning through construction down to commercial and technical operation management," says Ove Petersen, co-founder and CEO of GP Joule, explaining why the company decided in favour of this project.
