Greater rotor for greater benefit Maximizing your benefits means boosting your turbine’s output. The SG 8.0-167 delivers higher energy yields at all wind speeds. Proven concepts work with a larger rotor to lower risk and increase energy production. Key Facts Maximum power for projects at sea Designed for most challenging offshore sites Setting a new standard for offshore with improved output A larger rotor fitted with new aerodynamic 81.4-meter-long B81 blades enables the SG 8.0-167 to annually produce up to 20% more energy than its predecessor. The 8 MW rating is made possible through the use of a new and more powerful magnet generator, which also ensures that the turbine remains light and easy to maintain. Lowering risk through standardized processes By building on our direct drive technology, which uses fewer moving parts than geared machines, the robust SG 8.0-167 enables superior performance for added benefit. Utilizing existing elements of our production model creates key advantages. We standardize processes by leveraging our fully developed supply chain while re-using both current and future production facilities. This lets us manufacture high volumes with low risk – over 1,000 units will be produced at the beginning of 2020.
