E.ON Climate & Renewables and GE announce 300 Megawatt deal for two wind farms in Illinois.

 

GE will supply 300 megawatts of its latest wind turbine technology including operation and maintenance services for the Settlers Trail Wind Farm in Iroquois County, Illinois, and the Pioneer Trail Wind Farm in Iroquois and Ford Counties in Illinois. E.ON Climate & Renewables, NA (ECRNA) is developing the projects.

A total of 188 GE 1.6 wind turbines, which represent the latest evolution of the company’s wind turbine technology, will power the Settlers Trail and Pioneer Trail wind farms. The new units will be covered under an existing ECRNA-GE operation and maintenance service agreement, which will maximize turbine availability and production across ECRNA’s installed base of GE wind turbines in the United States.

The GE wind turbines - 94 at each wind farm - will be spread across several thousand acres of rural farmland in northeast Illinois. At full capacity, the wind farms will generate enough power for approximately 115,000 U.S. households.

Powerwind delivers 500kW machine to Wales.

 

PowerWind has concluded a framework agreement with Albion Ventures and Infinite Energy for the delivery of several PowerWind 500 turbines.The first installation will be as early as February 2012 in Ebbw Vale, Wales.

PowerWind 500 is operated with an original 500kW generator and not a throttled generator so is likely to get a high approval probability for the Feed-in-Tarrifs said the manufacterer.

The PowerWind 500 has a rotor diameter of 56 meters and generates significantly higher energy yields at lower rotor speeds than other similar products, which also reduces noise levels, said the manufacturer.

Turboatom JSC steam turbine is commissioned in Kazakhstan.

Second power unit of Aksu thermal power plant started commercial operation after modernization. New generation K-325-23.5 steam turbine was supplied by Turboatom JSC (Ukraine). It replaced obsolete K-300-240-2 steam turbine. After commissioning total electric output of steam turbine power unit was increased by 25 MW. Reconstruction of the plant gives the opportunity to increase reliability of power generation and environmental friendliness of the equipment. Second power unit of Aksu thermal power plant is the fourth power unit commissioned on the base of Turboatom JSC steam turbines.

PowerWind sells first wind turbine to Britain

In future the University of Sheffield covers part of its energy demand with PowerWind 56; Sub-MW products are best suited for the profitable British feed-in tariff.

PowerWind GmbH has closed a deal over the delivery of a wind turbine to the University of Sheffield. With this first installation on British ground the German manufacturer enters one of the most important markets for wind energy converters. By the end of 2011 the 900-kW turbine of the PowerWind 56 type will already be installed. The German PowerWind GmbH offers powerful plants oriented towards the demand of smaller municipalities or institutions.

WinWind delivers eight wind turbines to France.

WinWinD and the French-based InnoVent have signed a contract for six 3 MW wind turbines. WinWinD will deliver the WWD-3 turbines to wind parks located in the Northern France in the municipalities of Fiefs and Sains-lès-Pernes by the end of 2011. The hub height of the turbines is 88 m and the rotor diameter is 103 m. financing for the project is provided by Triodos Bank Belgium and Crédit Coopératif (France) who are supported by Export Credit Guarantees from Finnvera.

In addition to this, WinWinD and InnoVent have agreed on the delivery of two 1 MW wind turbines. These turbines are of the WWD-1 type, and they will be installed in the Northern France in the town of Boutavent this autumn. The hub height of these turbines will be 66 meters and rotor diameter 64 meters.
