Nordex entering 4 MW class with powerful turbine


  • N149/4.0-4.5 to be presented at Husum Wind

  • Flexible turbine concept for individual site optimisation

  • Currently the highest yielding and quietest onshore turbine for light-wind regions in the class of 4.0 – 4.5 MW

Hamburg, Husum, 1 September 2017. At the Husum Wind wind fair, taking place from 12 – 15 September 2017, the Nordex Group will present the latest development stage of its successful Delta platform: the Delta4000 series. The N149/4.0-4.5 turbine, which has been designed specifically for light-wind regions, has a 30 percent increase in rotor sweep and a variable power output of 4.0 to 4.5 MW. The N149/4.0-4.5 is currently the highest yielding onshore turbine for light-wind regions in the class of 4 – 4.5 MW.

What makes the N149/4.0-4.5 special is its potential to meet a wide range of site-specific requirements with one hardware version. As the maximum output of the turbine varies between 4.0 and 4.5 MW, it is ideal for adapting to the grid operator’s individual requirements, local wind conditions and noise restraints. This also means that it’s possible to optimise the overall yield of a wind farm by means of the different maximum output of individual turbines, thus always exploiting the full potential of each turbine position within each single wind farm. This is an advantage, among other things, with large-scale projects that often come with different wind conditions and complex topography. The N149/4.0-4.5 ensures that the highest possible energy yield is obtained: up to 28 percent more compared to the N131/3600 turbine.
