Siemens G2 platform – 2.3-MW geared wind turbines Exceptional performance, proven reliability

As the major driver of innovation with more than 30 years of experience, Siemens is the ideal business partner. Your trusted partner Siemens has been a major driver of innovation in the wind power industry since 1980 when wind turbine technology was still in its infancy. Technology has changed with the times, but Siemens’s commitment to providing its customers with proven wind turbine solutions remains the same. The combination of robust and reliable turbines, highly efficient solutions for power transmission and distribution and a deep understanding of the entire energy market ensures that...

Intelligent ways to drive down the cost of electricity Wind power is coming of age. It could soon be directly competitive with traditional energy sources. Driving down the levelized cost of wind energy is a key target for Siemens as we strive to make wind power independent of subsidies. Setting the standard for onshore availability Innovation and industrialization are the main drivers of this. And our new platform strategy, founded on the knowledge and experience of more than 30 years in wind power, is a milestone along this path. The wind turbines of the Siemens G2 platform have firmly...

Expertise in practice: fully developed technology, advanced design An extremely reliable product platform Siemens wind turbines are designed to last. The robust design of the G2 platform allows for reliable output throughout the lifecycle of its wind turbines. The unique blades are not glued together from a number of spars and shells; they are cast in a single process using patented IntegralBlade® technology. This enables both low weight and incredible strength, as there are no glue joints that could potentially expose the blades to cracking and lightning damage. Climate control within the...

Superior performance provides higher yields Optimum energy output in moderate wind conditions The Siemens G2 platform is designed to increase the energy returns from sites with moderate wind conditions. The advanced blade design with pitch regulation optimizes power output and increases control over energy output. High yield with low operating costs Siemens optimizes the return on investment in its wind turbines through intelligent maintenance that allows high yield with low operational costs. Advanced operations support Given the logistical challenges associated with servicing wind power...

Proven technology, advanced performance Grid performance with the Siemens NetConverter® Turbine Load Control (TLC) Siemens sets the standard in the field of grid compliance. Power conversion is implemented by the Siemens’s NetConverter® system. This system is characterized by full conversion of the power generated, efficiently decoupling generator and turbine dynamics from the grid. The Turbine Load Control system continuously monitors the structural loading on the wind turbine. In case the loads exceed normal values, the turbine automatically regulates operation to bring loads back within...
