The Nordex Group is expanding its turbine fleet with another turbine of the Delta4000 series: the N175/6.X. The new turbine uses the technical concepts of the Delta4000 series, such as the control system, the flexible rated power and large parts of the nacelle of the sister model, the N163/6.X.
The N175/6.X has a newly designed single-piece 85.7-meter-long rotor blade. At typical low to medium-wind locations, the N175/6.X will achieve between 7 - 14 percent more yield compared to its predecessor models, the N163/5.X and N163/6.X. The N175/6.X will initially be offered with hub heights of between 112 and 179 meters. The turbine is designed for an operating lifetime of 25 years, but in some site-specific circumstances can also be confirmed for up to 35 year. At a rated output of 6.22 MW, the maximum sound emission is 106 dB(A). The turbine can be equipped with a bat module and on-demand night-time marking. In addition, it offers different operating modes for reduced sound emissions. A cold climate variant ensuring operation in environments of -30°C is also available. The N175/6.X will be available worldwide, but Nordex expects the main demand to be in Europe, especially at the beginning of series production. Scheduled series production of the N175/6.X is scheduled for the end of 2024.
