Nordex SE has unveiled plans for its entry into the offshore market segment. The preliminary result is the N150/6000, which has been developed specially for offshore use.
With a rotor diameter of 150 meters, it has an installed nominal output of 6MW. The specific weight of the tower head has been kept low thanks to the use of a new kind of direct drive. Thanks to the modular system design, assembly and servicing at sea are possible with the systems already available today. If necessary, components can be replaced simply, quickly and without dismantling the rotor. A condition monitoring system facilitates preemptive maintenance of critical parts. In addition, Nordex can fit out the N150/6000 with a helicopter platform if requested by the customer. Nordex has participated in a reference project in the German part of the Baltic Sea to expedite market access. Up to 70 N150/6000 wind turbines are to be installed here from 2014/15 onwards.
