GE Upgrades its 2.5 MW Wind Turbines for Increased Power Production

GE, a multifaceted company that serves the energy sector, has unveiled its new wind turbine models during the Husum Wind Energy 2010 meet.

The company has declared the introduction of new 2.5 MW wind turbine models that can offer increased annual energy production (AEP) than the currently available 2.5 MW models.

The newly introduced GE 2.75-100 model is an upgrade of its existing 2.5-100 model without any changes in the installed mechanical parts but with improvements in its electrical system. The new GE 2.75-100 will provide augmented AEP efficiency in IEC TC II (1) type of wind locations. The GE 2.75-103 is a mix of the 2.75 upgraded version and installs a 103 M rotor which incorporates the patented design of the company’s 50.2 M blade design. The new design offers increased level of aerodynamics reduces noise during power generation and offers sturdy performance. This wind turbine model is designed for use in IEC TC III type of wind locations.

The incorporated changes while continue to retain the proven performance of its existing 2.5 MW wind turbines will augment the value for the clients. The new wind turbines demonstrate the ability of the company to manufacture wind turbines that meet the changed environmental requirements of various types of wind locations and conditions.
