GE has introduced its 4.1-113 wind turbine, a 4MW class machine that is optimised for offshore use.
GE has signed a contract to supply a 4.1-113 wind turbine, along with associated services, to Göteborg Energi for installation in the Gothenburg, Sweden harbor in the second half of 2011. This project is supported by the Swedish Energy Agency through its technology program. The 4.1-113 design builds on the evolution of the 3.5MW direct-drive design. The base design has been operating since 2005 on a coastal site in Norway in a harsh environment with high wind speed and high turbulence. This project in Gothenburg harbor is part of GE’s offshore footprint European strategy, representing a 340 million Euro investment in its offshore business.
