Siemens latest wind turbine SWT-7.0-154

Siemens today announced the launch of its new flagship offshore wind turbine called SWT-7.0-154.

The company has presented the new SWT-7.0-154 wind turbine at the EWEA Offshore conference in Copenhagen.

Siemens claims that the new model generates nearly 10 percent more power annually than predecessor under offshore wind conditions.

The new model is already set to go into series production by 2017.

 

Siemens has added stronger permanent magnets and generator segments in the permanent magnet generator for higher yield. The company also upgraded the converter and transformer. At the same, Siemens has retained the engineering of the 6-MW wind turbine.

The 6-MW-version will continue to be available for sales but following the improvements, Siemens has renamed the product platform to D7.

“Our new wind turbine offers our customers an investment as reliable as our proven G4 and D6 product platforms,” said Offshore CEO Michael Hannibal of Siemens Wind Power and Renewables.
