DNV GL has awarded Siemens Wind Power with final Type Certification for its new MW offshore wind turbine SWT-7.0-154, confirming full IEC-61400-22 compliance.
The new model delivers nearly ten per cent more energy production than its predecessor under offshore wind conditions. The new 7MW offshore wind turbine has been developed by Siemens as an evolution of the company’s SWT-6.0-154. Moving forward, DNV GL has also been contracted to work with Siemens on the upgrade of the 7MW including the powerboost feature to increase the power output.
