Advanced technology and tailor made service for Kniphagen: Siemens Energy will deliver wind turbines of the type SWT-3.0-113 and help insure the long-term reliability and performance for 20 years.

Siemens Energy will deliver five wind turbines for the onshore wind power plant Kniphagen in the north German region Ostholstein. The operator has chosen Siemens modern direct driven wind turbines for the wind power plant, located close to the coast on the Baltic Sea. A 20-year service and maintenance agreement was also signed to help insure the long-term reliability and optimum performance of the turbines.

Siemens will install five SWT-3.0-113 turbines at the 15-MW project in the region of Ostholstein. At the site in Kniphagen the turbines form a modern onshore wind power plant that is scheduled to be connected to grid in 2014. In planning this project, the Siemens team focused on reducing the necessary digging to a minimum. Due to anticipatory planning of paths and utility spaces for the cranes the sealing of grassed areas in the nature embedded site remained notably small. It is the first time, Siemens direct drive turbines are installed in this region.

Peter Spies, CEO of Windpark Kniphagen GmbH & Co. KG, is convinced of the benefits of Siemens direct drive technology. The gearless wind turbines reduce the number of moving parts by 50%.

Wind power and energy service are part of Siemens’ Environmental Portfolio. Around 43% of its total revenue stems from green products and solutions. That makes Siemens one of the world’s leading providers of eco-friendly technology.
