The Nordex Group has seen explosive growth of orders for its AW3000 platform.
AW3000
This success is due to a track record of reliability and product innovation coming
from one of the most experienced wind energy companies in the world. The latest
evolutions are the AW140 for light-wind locations in addition to uprating options
to 3300 kW for certain configurations. Partner with the Nordex Group to make your
projects rise above the competition.
• Steel and concrete tower options with hub heights • Two-person lift; hub access from inside the nacelle;
from 80 to 137.5 meters and spacious, ergonomic nacelle design allow for
operational efficiency
• Proven and bankable designs including
double-bearing support on main shaft, glass fiber
12 KV VERSUS 690 V
and epoxy blades and DFIG electrical generation
• This configuration, proven in our wind turbines, can
remove the step-up transformer from the equation
BUILT BY OPERATORS FOR OPERATORS and is ideal for projects that are in close proximity
• Based on a scaled design of our successful to the substation
AW1500, the AW3000 provides more energy
capture per wind turbine location • The result is significant savings over the life of
the project
• Our track record of fleet wind turbine performance
includes global average availability over 98% and • Up to 50% savings in collection system costs
extremely low failure rates of major components
• Average of 1% greater energy productions due to
the avoidance of transformer electrical losses
COMPATIBILITY & CONTROL
• Zero voltage ride-through beyond current • Avoidance of maintenance and potential failures
regulatory requirements, in addition to grid of transformers
integration and reactive power solutions to allow
for maximum control for stringent grid codes
