STX Windpower B.V. has finalized the commissioning of its new wind turbine, the STX 93 2MW. This prototype has a rotor diameter of 93.3 meter blades of 45.3 meter. The STX 93 design has a direct drive generator which is fully integrated in the structural design.
The wind turbine is located in Lelystad in The Netherlands (Europe’s biggest test site for wind turbines),near STX Windpower’s main research and development office. This enables STX Windpower to monitor the turbines productivity and performance closely during the certification period, which is scheduled to be finalised in December 2011.
