Senvion SE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzlon, has erected the prototype of the Senvion 6.2 M 152 with the largest rotor diameter in the product range. The turbine was erected on December 3, 2014.
The project is a first for the company in two respects: blades of this size have never been developed, built, transported and assembled, and such a large rotor star has never been pulled and assembled. With a diameter of 152 metres, the swept area is larger than three football pitches.
With a rated power of 6.15 megawatts, the 6.2M152 can supply around 4,000 homes with electricity. The nacelle alone is as big as two detached houses and will be constructed offshore at a hub height of between 97 and 100 metres.
Tulsi Tanti, Chairman of the Suzlon Group, said, “The prototype of Senvion 6.2M152 is based on the highly reliable 6.2M126 WTG and takes us one more step towards reducing cost of energy with highest reliability and quality.”
Tanti added that with this turbine, they will be able to further capitalise their strong position in the off-shore wind energy market. “Additionally, also in India Suzlon is conducting a techno-commercial feasibility study for offshore wind power project in Gujarat. This would be country’s first ever offshore project.”
