Difficult road ahead for German wind energy sector The onshore wind energy sector continues to be confronted with huge challenges in Germany. According to figures compiled by market observer Deutsche WindGuard, just 743 wind energy converters were installed in 2018 with a total capacity of 2,402 MW. This means that compared with the record year in 2017, when the industry installed a total of 5,333 MW and 1,792 wind energy converters, there was a drop of 55 percent. ENERCON is also affected by this decline: while the company was still able to install 2004 MW in Germany in 2017, the market conditions...

DATES HAMBURG ENERCON's cargo ship “E-Ship 1" transports third-party cargo for the first time The "E-Ship 1" cargo ship, originally designed to transport components of ENERCON wind energy converters, is now also transporting third-party freight. Offering transport services for external customers is a way to better utilise the ship's capacity, for example on return journeys from regions where components had previously been discharged for ENERCON wind energy projects. The first third-party shipments included 5,000 tonnes of steel pipes, which were transported from Turkey to Rotterdam in the Netherlands,...

E-138installed EP3 prototype ENERCON HAS INSTALLED THE PROTOTYPE OF THE NEW LOW WIND SPEED EP3 AT THE WIERINGERMEER WIND ENERGY TEST SITE IN THE NETHERLANDS. THE INTERIM RESULTS FROM THE FIRST FIELD TESTS HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. IN THE MEANTIME, DEVELOPMENT OF THE EP3 IS PROGRESSING FURTHER.

Delivery of E-138 rotor blade with new blade trailer. NERCON has reached the next stage of its EP3 programme. At the end of February, the prototype of the E-138 EP3 WEC was installed at the Wieringermeer wind energy test site in the Netherlands. The low-wind WEC (IEC wind class IIIA) follows in the footsteps of the E-126 EP3 for wind class IIA sites and is the second WEC type to feature the new compact design. “We are pleased that we are making progress with our EP3 programme, and that we have successfully installed the first E-138 EP3”, says ENERCON Sales Director Stefan Lütkemeyer. “Our development...

TITLE_ and new rectifiers were also put under scrutiny. All of the functions of the new safety system were tested out and no problems were detected. “We also subjected the new B2B power electronics to comprehensive testing in a component assembly with the generator and the newly developed electronic control system”, reports Christian zur Mühlen, Project Manager for the E-138 EP3 at WRD. The system ran at nominal power without any hitches, and the other objectives were achieved during testing at the WRD test facilities in Aurich as well. Once the prototype has been commissioned in Wieringermeer,...
