Nordex receives first order for its light-wind N131/3600 turbine

By Michelle Froese | November 30, 2016

The N131/3600 is able to produce a good ten percent more energy compared to its forerunner, the N131/3600, thanks to the 20 percent capacity increase.

According to Nordex, the N131/3600 turbine offers a low-sound power level and is able to produce a good 10% more energy compared to its forerunner.

The Nordex Group has received the first order for the installation of its light-wind N131/3600 turbine. Nordex only recently presented the N131/3600 to the market publicly, together with the N117/3600, this September. Both turbines have been type-tested for 106-meter towers (and the N117/3600 for up to 91-meter towers).

The manufacturer will be installing the turbines in December for project developer, GP Joule. The project site is located near Husum at Windtestfeld Nord in Schleswig-Holstein, where the turbine is expected to produce an annual energy yield of 12.9 million kWh — equating to a capacity factor of more than 40%. Nordex will be installing the turbine on a 106-m tubular steel tower.

After commissioning, Nordex will have the sound power level and technical performance of the N131/3600 measured for site-specific certification. The N131/3600 is able to produce a good 10% more energy compared to its forerunner, the N131/3600, thanks to the 20% capacity increase. Particular attention was paid to a low-sound power level when the model was developed.

“As a project developer increasingly involved in the wind sector, the construction and operation of the Nordex N131/3600 virtually on our doorstep is an exciting project for us,” said Ove Petersen, Co-founder and CEO of GP Joule. “The test field offers us an opportunity to thoroughly test this turbine class in real operation at a wind-intensive site from planning through construction down to commercial and technical operation management.”
