Enercon will launch the new wind energy converters (WEC) in the 4MW-plus segment on the market as E-147 EP5 and E-160 EP5. A change to the product designation has been made in the next stage of Enercon and Lagerwey’s affiliation.
In future, all of the new WECs developed in partnership will enter the market as Enercon WEC types with a uniform “E” series designation. The E-147 EP5 for wind class IIA sites (IEC) has a nominal power of 5.0MW. The nominal power of the E-160 EP5 for wind class IIIA sites is 4.6MW. The rest of the key data and the geometry of the new WEC types will remain largely unchanged. Both of the new developments are based on the EP5 platform.
