Designed for the diverse site conditions in the US

AEP increase SG 2.9-129 vs. SWT-2.625-120

The SG 2.9-129 wind turbine is the latest Siemens Gamesa onshore turbine developed to meet the medium- to low-wind site and market conditions of the American market. To deliver the lowest Cost of Energy and maximize performance across various sites in the US, the SG 2.9-129 is designed with the higher capacity factor for our customers demand. This new model enhances our wind turbine catalog by demonstrating our ability to offer flexible solutions for every context.

Technological Highlights

Reliable geared technology

The nacelle is specifically designed to make the moving parts of the geared turbine easier to reach, helping to lower service costs and reduce work time. The fully enclosed asynchronous generator features a squirrel-cage rotor without slip rings, to extract the maximum energy yield.

DinoTails® Next Generation

As an aerodynamic blade add-on, DinoTails® Next Generation reduces the sound power levels by using a serrated trailing edge mounted at the blade and adding finer combs in between the teeth. This world-leading noise reduction technology enables us to create value for our customers by maximizing AEP and reducing the LCoE in sites with noise constraints.

IntegralBlade® technology

The development of IntegralBlade® technology enables each reinforced fiberglass blade to be cast in one piece. This process eliminates weaker areas at glue joints and delivers blades of optimum quality, strength and reliability.

Remote diagnostics services

Turbine sensors continuously transmit data to the Siemens Gamesa Diagnostic Center, enabling the early detection of anomalies and preventing potential failures. By analyzing vibration patterns we can optimize your service plan and anticipate repairs before serious damage occurs.
