“The new SG 10.0-193 DD combines experiences and knowledge from five generations of proven direct drive technology in one 10 MW turbine,” Siemens Gamesa CEO Markus Tacke said. “A showcase of strong performance, swift time-to-market, and low risk in the offshore wind energy market,” he added.
According to Siemens Gamesa, the 10 MW rating is made possible through a larger generator diameter, building on the proven SGRE Direct Drive generator technology.
By increasing the rotor diameter to 193 meters, this new wind turbine offers up to 30% more AEP than its predecessor, the SG 8.0-167 DD. Its 94-meter-long-blades provide a swept area of 29,300 square metres. Each blade is almost the same length as one soccer field, SGRE said.
