Hamburg, 16 July 2024. On July 12th, the Nordex Group installed the world's
first N175/6.X turbine at the Bürgerwindpark Janneby (community wind farm)
in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. With a rotor swept area of 24,053 square
metres and a nominal capacity of up to 6.8 MW, the N175/6.X is the most
powerful Nordex turbine specifically for medium and light wind sites.
The special feature of the turbine is the single-piece, approximately
86-metre-long rotor blade: both the rotor diameter of 175 metres and the new
blade design make a significant contribution to very high performance,
especially at light wind speeds.
"The installation of the first N175/6.X is an important milestone for
Nordex. Our colleagues worked very hard and closely together to ensure the
development and the installation on schedule of this pilot turbine. The
N175/6.X is another variant of our globally proven Delta4000 platform, using
validated components. Thanks to the turbine's large rotor, we will be
setting new standards onshore in Germany and Europe in terms of additional
electricity yield, especially at times of light wind speeds," says José Luis
Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group.
In the following months, the N175/6.X will undergo extensive tests at the
site. Nordex has already installed prototypes in Janneby in the past and has
had good experience with the site. The on-site wind conditions provide
excellent conditions for the required power and sound measurements and
validation of mechanical loads for IEC type certification.
The Nordex Group has installed the N175/6.X at its site in
Schleswig-Holstein on a tubular steel tower with a hub height of 112 metres.
A second N175/6.X is to follow in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in late
autumn 2024. Here, the turbine type will be installed on a hybrid tower
developed by Nordex itself with a hub height of 179 metres, which is the
tallest tower in the Nordex portfolio to date.
