Summary

| Description |
The generator is on top of the wind mast, over 62 meters from ground level. Each blade is massive too, measuring 30 meters long and weighting almost 7 tonnes. When this close, you can hear the whooshing of the blades as they spin over you. The blade is designed to stall at wind speeds exceeding the stall level. As a feature for optimising power output, the hydraulic ACTIVE-STALL® system starts operating just below rated wind speed by pitching the blades. The power output is optimised and the output of 1500 kW is maintained throughout the operating wind speed range. The control system automatically adjusts for variations in air density and pitches to minimise the effects of any contamination on the blades [enteka.gr] |
