By Michelle Froese | January 23, 2017

 

At a height of 120 m, the S97-120m is currently the world’s tallest all-steel hybrid tower, which combines lattice and tubular structures.

Suzlon Group announced a repeat wind order of 50.40 MW from a leading power utility in India. The project consists of 24 units of S97 120-m hybrid tower with a rated capacity of 2.1 MW. Located in Kutch, Gujarat, the project is schedule for completion in March 2017.

The S97 series of 2.1-MW WTG feature the time tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology, which is designed to maximize generation at lower wind sites. It not only delivers higher energy output, but also offers higher return on investment for our customers.

Suzlon will execute the entire project on a turnkey basis and will also provide O&M services for an initial period of 14 years through an integrated service package. The project has the potential to provide power to over 27,000 households and reduce 0.10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.

“India is witnessing a paradigm shift in the renewable energy landscape and it is heartening to witness power generation utilities embracing alternative energy to build up a robust sustainable energy architecture,” said J.P. Chalasani, Group CEO, Suzlon Group.

“We are best equipped to pursue our efforts in bringing down the cost of energy with our comprehensive product portfolio, robust in-house R&D and more than two decades of experience in providing end-toen solutions to customers along with a dedicated Life Cycle Asset management service capability.”
