RISE ABOVE

AW3000
The Nordex Group has seen explosive growth of orders for its AW3000 platform.

AW 100 AW 116 AW 125 AW 132 AW 140

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.

OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE FOR ALL SITES SAFETY


• Full suite of configuration options covering all wind • Hydraulic pitch control for safe and reliable blade
conditions pitching in all wind environments

• 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

• Control software that allows intelligent automatic


monitoring and operation
