EWT has launched a new wind turbine: the new 900kW EWT DW61. The DIRECTWIND61 (DW61) builds on the technology of EWT’s DW54 turbine.
The DW61 increases kWh output through a larger rotor diameter, which is the result of the latest aero dynamical blade design and control technologies. The DW61 is designed for wind class IEC IIIA conditions and retains the tip heights of 77 and 100 meters. The DW61 is focused on meeting the global requirement for localised generation, both on-grid and off-grid. The prototype DW61 has just been installed in Lelystad, The Netherlands and EWT expects first units to be deployed in the third quarter of 2016.
