OEM wins contracts for high-wind areas

By Paul Dvorak | August 23, 2012

Nordex N100

Nordex turbines of this sort will soon be generating power in windy Ireland.

Nordex has been awarded a contract for the delivery and assembly of seven high-wind turbines for the Irish Glenough 2 and Gibbett Hill projects. Glenough 2 entails an extension to an existing 32.5-MW wind farm, which Nordex previously built. Gibbett Hill is a new 15-MW farm. The two projects are located in the south of the Republic of Ireland at windy, elevated sites.

In both cases, wind-farm developer ABO Wind opted for the N90/2500 turbine, which is configured for these locations with wind speeds of about 9 m/s. The annual yield of the seven turbines has been calculated at around 70 GWh, translating into an above-average capacity factor of a good 45%.

Wiesbaden-based project developer ABO Wind has been working closely with Nordex for many years. “In view of our favorable experience with the company and its products, we have decided to also install these turbines in Ireland together with Nordex,” says Dr. Jochen Ahn, a member of the management Board of ABO Wind AG and its founder. Together with the recent projects, the installed capacity of all wind farms which ABO Wind has installed in Ireland using Nordex turbines will come to 70 MW. Project work is to complete in December 2012 (Glenough 2) and May 2013, respectively. The order also includes a premium-service contract for an initial period of five years.
