Siemens G4 platform – 3.6-MW and 4.0-MW geared wind turbines The offshore workhorse – redefined

Siemens, the offshore leader Intelligent ways to drive down the cost of electricity Siemens has been a major driver of innovation in the wind power industry since 1980, when wind turbine technology was still in its infancy. Wind power is coming of age. It is fast becoming directly competitive with traditional energy sources. Driving down the levelized cost of wind energy is a key target for Siemens as we strive to make wind power independent of subsidies. Technology has changed with the times, but Siemens’ commitment to providing its customers with proven wind turbine solutions remains the same....

The new SWT-4.0-130 The next step in reliable offshore energy Enhanced design efficiency Aeroelastic blades for greater lifetime output Optimized and robust design While the 4.0-MW turbine is based directly on the 3.6-MW turbine, it features improvements based on years of operational experience. Its structure has been strengthened, making it even more robust. The optimized nacelle design also features an improved layout, optimizing the ergonomics during installation and maintenance. A simplified tower design with fewer weld points has led to both lower weight and greater strength. Both the gearbox...

Proven technology, advanced performance Swept area: 11,300 m2 Siemens NetConverter® The Siemens Wind Power power boost functionality is a wind turbine control feature that increases the annual energy production of the turbine by raising the rating up to 5 % depending on site conditions. The feature is implemented, operated, and controlled on each wind turbine. Power boost functionality The NetConverter® system offers maximum flexibility in the turbine’s response to voltage and frequency control, fault ride-through, and output adjustment. As a result, Siemens wind turbines can be configured to...
