The G10X-4.5 MW wind turbine, installed by Gamesa near Alaiz (Navarra, Spain), on 11 March set a new record for energy output by a wind turbine in Spain. The turbine generated electricity for 23.24 equivalent hours at nominal capacity (98.26% of the day), for a total of 104.6 MWh.
The turbine's performance yesterday broke the previous record of 98.5 MWh, which was set by the same machine on 22 January. The Alaiz machine is the second G10X-4.5 MW prototype Gamesa has erected in Spain with the aim of achieving the highest possible levels of availability, energy efficiency and network codes for this turbine system from day one. The first prototype is installed at the R&D wind farm in Jaulín, Zaragoza.
