-3.6 wind turbine General layout of -3.6 nacelle Offshore modifications Offshore modifications implemented as part of basic design. Modifications in place also for onshore turbines Arrangements generally according to principles having shown their worth from Vindeby onwards Transformer and HV switchgear in tower bottom Page 5
Our answer for advanced turbine technology: Integral Blade without glue joints Siemens Integral Blade The blade is manufactured in a single operation, using a closed process invented by Siemens No glue joints between spars and shells, no weak points, no easy access for water or lightning Combining superior strength with excellent power and noise performance Page 6
Our answer for advanced turbine technology: Continuous monitoring to prevent failures Turbine Condition Monitoring Designed to continuously monitor the external and internal state of the wind turbine 24 / 7 precise online vibration measurement on the gearbox, the generator and the main shaft bearings Detect significant deviations from its normal operating condition Prevention of costly breakdowns Reduced service costs Optimized availability and energy generation Page 7
