The Senvion 6.2M152

März 5, 2015 1:16 Veröffentlicht von

Senvion recognises that the offshore wind turbine market is driven by the twin goals of reducing LCOE and managing technology risk. Senvion’s approach has been to develop the 6.2M152 wind turbine based on the well-proven and bankable 6.2M126 machine. The 6.2M152 contributes to significantly lowering the cost of energy for offshore projects due to its yield increase of 20% and its lifetime increase of 25% compared to its predecessors. Furthermore, by keeping the well-known and proven platform concept and by using all of Senvion’s offshore experience, it reduces technology risk for future large offshore wind farms.

Installation of the prototype was completed in December 2014 and the machine is now running through an ongoing validation phase at the Langen Neuenwalde test site. This new machine adds another step to what is currently the world’s largest operational 5MW+ platform with more than 900MW installed.

The 6.2M152 platform features the same roots and design principles as the 6.2M126. Due to multiple optimization efforts it has been possible to increase the yield by 20% while keeping identical nacelle dimensions. The electrical system with a nominal power of 6.15MW has proven its’ capabilities many times over in various on- and offshore projects all over Europe and is identical across the 6.XM platform. In addition it has been possible to extend the lifetime of the 6.2M152 by 25% compared to its predecessor. This is possible due to the thorough understanding of the turbine behaviour and the detailed focus on the fatigue loadings within the entire turbine system.

This talk will present the 6.2M152 wind turbine and its capabilities. We will then share an overview of our experience to date with the prototype to give an indication of progress through the validation plan. This will look into, for example, the preliminary results from the functional tests, the load and power measurement status as well as overall operational experience gained.
