  • Welcome to the Future of Wind Energy: Siemens Gamesa to Deploy Powerful Next Generation Platform in Sweden by 2021
    Press Release December 13, 2019 Welcome to the future of wind energy: Siemens Gamesa to deploy powerful next generation platform in Sweden by 2021 - Landmark order for the 231 MW Skaftåsen project in Sweden brings to market the most powerful geared onshore wind turbine - 35 units of the SG 5.8-155 to be installed with flexible power rating operating at 6.6 MW, and they will be covered by a 30-year full-service agreement - Digitized turbine control will drive improved performance, even in extreme weather conditions Siemens Gamesa is launching a new era for wind power with a deal to supply the most powerful geared onshore wind turbine ever, the SG 5.8-155 wind turbine. The first of the 35 units, all with flexible power rating operating at 6.6 MW, will be installed in the second quarter of 2021 in the Skaftåsen project in Sweden, the first in the world to feature the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform. Project developer Arise AB and leading infrastructure investment manager Foresight Group LLP (“Foresight”) have chosen this latest generation of onshore turbines due to its strong performance and advanced design, combining reliability with maximum Annual Energy Production (AEP) for the lowest LCoE. With a 30-year full-service agreement, this new generation of onshore wind turbines will generate predictable revenue streams over its lifecycle, improving the business case of the project. The 231 MW order marks the debut of the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform, only months after its presentation in April 2019, during WindEurope Bilbao trade fair. It reinforces the company’s leading position in the Swedish market, one of the most dynamic in Europe.

Built on the current largest offshore wind turbine in the SGRE fleet, the SG 11.0-193 DD Flex can reach a capacity of 11 MW under specific site conditions. “The SG 11.0-193 DD Flex is another example of how Siemens Gamesa constantly works to improve performance and provide greater value for our customers, ratepayers, and society-at-large. Digitalization allows us to increase the capacity of our current largest machine to 11 MW, boosting its annual energy production, while keeping the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) down. In turn our customers can deliver more clean, reliable energy to end-users at lower overall prices,” said Andreas Nauen, CEO of the Siemens Gamesa Offshore Business Unit. The SG 11.0-193 DD Flex offshore wind turbine features a 193-meter diameter rotor utilizing the 94- meter long Siemens Gamesa B94 Integral Blades.

  • Siemens Gamesa Now Able to Actively Dictate Wind Flow at Offshore Wind Locations
    Press Release November 26, 2019 Siemens Gamesa now able to actively dictate wind flow at offshore wind locations - New Wake Adapt feature can determine direction of wind reaching downstream turbines - Up to 1% increase in annual energy production on offshore wind power plant level can be achieved - Up to 10% reduction of detrimental wake effect means greater value for customers, ratepayers, and society - Software solution customized to site conditions; can potentially be retrofit on existing Siemens Gamesa gearless and geared offshore wind turbines Click here to watch the video about Wake Adapt Actively dictating the wind flow in any offshore wind power plant has likely been the dream of developers and engineers since the first turbines were installed in Danish waters in 1991. Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) is therefore proud to launch the Wake Adapt feature today at the the WindEurope Offshore 2019 Conference & Exhibition in Copenhagen. It allows SGRE to actively adjust the heading of individual offshore wind turbines, directing the wind which flows off the individual machine in a different direction than what normally occurs. This resulting shift in direction of the wind turbine wake away from downstream wind turbines allows an increase in overall wind park performance of up to 1% in annual energy production. “The Wake Adapt feature is about proactive problem-solving. Instead of letting the wind and wake fully dictate how much energy we can capture, we safely direct the wake - and its unfavorable effects - away from our machines across the entire power plant. Through digitalization, we can produce more energy from the same turbines, benefitting our customers, ratepayers, and society overall.

  • Read the Position Paper
    2 The European Commission's Long term decarbonisation strategy foresees more than 400 GW of offshore wind by 2050. This requires accelerating deployment and, crucially, an ambitious approach to developing grid infrastructure. To this end WindEurope recommends: Planning – EU-level • The EU should elaborate a high-level strategy to achieve the grid infrastructure needed for more than 400 GW of offshore wind included in its long term decarbonisation strategy, with support from Member States, industry and grid operators; • This strategy should include the optimisation of existing grid infrastructure and the support of new technologies and approaches as means to plug the ambition gap in the pipeline of projects to 2030 and beyond; • The EU should further elaborate the regulatory framework to allow project developers to build grid connections for cross-border hybrid projects with a smooth and streamlined process; • The EU should use the InvestEU initiative to start an ambitious infrastructure programme for the development of both the onshore and offshore European grid in the long-term; Planning – Member States • Member States should include clear plans for a coordinated offshore grid development in their National Energy and Climate Plans to 2030 including an assessment of investment needs and sources of finance to deliver them; • Member States should amend the regulatory framework to include the option of opening investments in offshore grid assets to new players; Execution • Offshore wind farm developers should be given a larger role in developing
