Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Siemens SWT-2.3-113 wind turbine is designed for low to moderate wind conditions, featuring a direct drive generator and Quantum Blade technology to maximize energy extraction. It is efficient, quiet, robust, and reliable, setting a new benchmark for wind turbines in its class.
Design and Technology
The turbine utilizes a direct drive generator similar to the SWT-3.0-101, offering reliability and efficiency with 50% fewer parts than conventional turbines. The Quantum Blade enhances aerodynamic performance, particularly at low to medium wind speeds, using innovative solutions in the root and tip sections.
Performance and Efficiency
The direct drive design incorporates a permanent magnet generator, reducing moving parts and maintenance needs. The outer rotor arrangement contributes to a compact and lightweight generator, facilitating easier transportation and installation. The B55 Quantum Blade is lighter yet strong, with unique airfoils and redesigned sections for superior performance.
Noise and Grid Compliance
The SWT-2.3-113 operates at a low noise level of 105 dB, minimizing disturbances. The Siemens NetConverter® ensures flexibility in response to voltage and frequency variations, enhancing grid compliance and fleet management.
Technical Specifications
  • Rotor: 3-bladed, 113 m diameter, 10,000 m² swept area
  • Blade: 55 m length, self-supporting, GRE material
  • Generator: Synchronous, PMG, 2,300 kW nominal power
  • Operational Data: Cut-in wind speed at 3 m/s, nominal power at 12–13 m/s, cut-out wind speed at 25 m/s
Construction and Maintenance
The turbine features a solid, compact nacelle with ergonomic design for maximum serviceability. It includes a LiquidLink® water cooling system and top-mounted passive cooling radiators for efficient operation.
Conclusion
