Proven technology for onshore wind projects: the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform

The new Siemens Gamesa 5.X onshore platform has its roots in Siemens Gamesa technology, synonymous with innovation, know-how and reliability accredited through experience. The Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform incorporates proven technologies, minimizing risk and guaranteeing reliability for its three new product models: SG 6.6-155, SG 6.6-170 and SG 7.0-170 wind turbines.

These include a doubly-fed generator and partial converter combination, a compact drive train design with a three-stage gearbox, and the use of components widely validated on our platforms. The result is a wind turbine design that gives optimum performance and LCoE.

Technological highlights

Reliable geared technology

Our onshore approach is focused on geared technology, in which we have extensive knowledge and expertise. The hallmarks of Siemens Gamesa turbines are: reliability, robustness and a modular, flexible design for optimum adaptation and maximization of production at any site and in all wind conditions.

OptimaFlex

Thanks to OptimaFlex technology, we go beyond the traditional off-the-shelf approach that results in products that are sub-optimal for many sites, and we deliver a uniquely tailored solution that is perfect for our customers’ specific needs. Optimized site design combined with a customizable product platform, based on flexible power rating, site specific towers and optimized BoP solutions, allow Siemens Gamesa to deliver reduced LCoE by increasing AEP while optimizing cost.

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.

RecyclableBlade

The pioneering RecyclableBlade is an option based on our proven IntegralBlade® technology and manufacturing follows the exact same process with only a change of resin. The new resin is as strong and reliable as before, but with added recyclability benefits. After reaching end-of-life and decommissioning the blade materials can be separated and recycled in new applications.

GreenerTower

GreenerTower is an option, which focuses on achieving significant CO2 equivalent reductions in the steel plate production for steel towers. For the GreenerTower, a maximum of 0.7 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions are permitted per ton of steel. This means a CO2 reduction on the tower steel plates of at least 63% compared to conventional steel production.
