The test turbine is to be erected and commissioned in March 2011 south of Rostock, at the Tarnow site near the head office of W2E (Germany).
„Now finally we will be able to test, implement and optimize our own developments and systems and the associated regulation and control processes in close proximity and thus in real time under actual conditions, and significantly improve the state of development," explains Christoph Klewitz, CEO of W2E GmbH.
The test turbine with a rotor diameter of 93 m and a nacelle height of 100 m has a nominal power of 2050 kWh. One of the advantages is that engineers will be able to test and validate the research and development results with a rigid measuring tower. Thus, W2E will be able to collaborate with W2E licence holders in placing already optimized turbine technologies in the market at a sustainable value, and to carry out extensive test series for the necessary certification and for intended further developments.
