GE Introduces New Wind Turbine Models (GE)

GE

announced today at Husum Wind Energy 2010 that it is introducing new members to its family of 2.5-megawatt wind turbines. All of the new models are designed to increase annual energy production (

) over the existing 2.5-megawatt wind turbine. The new machines include: GE's 2.75-100 is an uprate of the existing 2.5-100 wind turbine with no mechanical component changes and only minor changes to the electrical system. GE's 2.75-100 machine will provide greater AEP in IEC TC II1 environments. GE's 2.75-103 is a combination of the 2.75 uprate and the 103 meter rotor which utilizes GE's 50.2 meter proprietary blade design that offers the latest enhancements in aerodynamics, reduced acoustic emissions and robust performance. The new 2.75-103 wind turbine is optimized for IEC TC III.
