The SG 11.0-200 DD has evolved from generations of proven offshore direct drive technology. This 11 MW offshore wind turbine stands out with its strong performance, swift time-to-market, and low risk in the offshore wind industry.
Built on proven Siemens Gamesa Direct Drive technology
Up to 40% AEP compared to its predecessor, the SG 8.0-167 DD
High wind, offshore location
With every new generation of our offshore direct drive turbine technology – which uses fewer moving parts than geared wind turbines – component improvements have enabled greater performance while maintaining reliability. At the same time, we are able to reduce time to market of the SG 11.0-200 DD – thanks to standardized processes and a fully developed supply chain. Enabling high volume production at low risk. The serial production is planned for 2022.
By increasing the rotor diameter to 200 meters with 97 meter-long blades, the SG 11.0-200 DD delivers up to 40% more AEP than its predecessor, the SG 8.0-167 DD.
Efficient direct drive technology
Direct drive technology reduces the number of wear-prone components in offshore turbines, making them simpler to maintain. Efficiency is improved by using a permanent magnet generator, which needs no excitation power. These and other design simplifications keep the weight low and dimensions small, lowering transport and installation costs.
High Wind Ride Through
The High Wind Ride Through (HWRT) system is a breakthrough in stabilizing energy output. When the wind speed is higher than 25 meters per second, wind turbines typically shut down for self-protection.
