2.75 - 103 Wind turbine
GE's 2.5 MW series wind turbine platform moves to a wider range of site applications by introducing the 2.75-103 wind turbine for IEC Class III. This new turbine features electrical system uprates and GE's 50.2 meter proprietary blade design that offers a 9%+ AEP increase over the 2.5-100.
Focusing on performance, reliability, acoustic emissions, efficiency, and multi-generational product evolution, GE's 2.75-103 wind turbine creates more value for our customers.
Features and Benefits:
- Higher AEP compared to 2.5 MW predecessors
- Designed to meet or exceed the 1.5 MW platform's historic high availability
- Grid friendly options are available - Enhanced Reactive Power, Voltage Ride Thru, Power Factor Control
- Wind Farm Control System; WindSCADA™
- Sharing of components within GE's product family
- GE proprietary 50.2 and 48.7 meter blades
- Ultra-quiet power production Low Noise Trailing Edge serrations as an acoustic enhancement for the 2.75-103
- Available in both 50 Hz and 60 Hz
Design:
- GE's 2.75-103 wind turbine offers a 6% increase in swept area and a 9.2% increase in AEP at 8.5 m/s when compared to the 2.5-100. This increase in blade swept area allows greater energy capture and improved project economics for wind developers. GE's proprietary 50.2 meter blade uses the same proven aerodynamic shape as the 48.7 meter blades found on the 2.5-100 and 2.75-100. Our new, Low Noise Trailing Edge serrations are employed on this turbine to enable siting in sound sensitive areas at full rated power. Testing has shown this design for the blade enables improved turbine acoustics. Low Noise Trailing Edge technology allows increased tip speed tolerance to capture more energy.
Specfication:
- Designed to IEC 61400-1
- TC S: 8.5 m/s average wind speed; B-turbulence for 85 and 98.3 meter towers
