REpower Systems AG has presented two new variants of their 3.XM series for less windy locations. In this connection, the 3.XM series will, with immediate effect, be differentiated into two turbine types.
The REpower 3.4M104 with a rotor diameter of 104 m relates to the 3.XM series turbine type, which was introduced back in 2008; it is now available in three different hub heights. The company has announced that it will start selling the second variant, the 3.2M114 with a rotor diameter of 114 m, in fall 2010. The REpower 3.4M104 has a rated output of 3.4MW and a rotor diameter of 104 m. A 128 m hybrid tower made from concrete and steel is now also available in addition to the two steel tower variants with hub heights of between 96.5 meters and 100 meters as well as between 78 and 80 meters respectively.
The newest turbine of the 3.XM series is also designed for use in less windy locations in inland areas: namely the REpower 3.2M114. The turbine with a rated output of 3.2 MW and a rotor diameter of 114 m is set to be launched on the German market in fall 2010. The 3.2M114 can increase the energy yield at less windy locations, in comparison to the 3.4M104, by up to 10%, due to its rotor area of over 10,000 square meter. The 3.2M114 is initially to be offered with a steel tower and a hub height of 93 m, additional variants are planned for the future.
