Salzbergen, Germany – October 7th, 2010 – GE´s (NYSE:GE) multi-megawatt wind turbine technology has entered commercial service in Poland and is helping the country meet its renewable energy requirements, GE announced today at the official opening of the Nekla windpark. With Poland’s high wind potential and large agricultural areas, wind technology will play a key role to help the country meet its target to have 15% of its total energy supplied by renewable resources by the year 2020.
Marking the debut of GE’s 2.5-100, technology in Poland the Nekla project is owned by the Polish affiliate company of E.ON Climate and Renewables and consists of 21 turbines installed at seven sites in the Wielkopolska Region. All turbines have been successfully installed, commissioned and connected to the grid.
With a rotor diameter of 100 meters, the 2.5-100 provides customers with increased annual energy production while maintaining efficiency, reliability and grid connection capabilities. “The increased output of each unit, the qualities and track record of GE technology have been key factors in our turbine choice for this project, with which E.ON will produce more than 50 megawatts of clean, wind generated electricity for the Polish market,” said Sven Utermöhlen, Regional Director Central Europe for E.ON Climate & Renewables.
Nearly 200 of GE’s 2.5-100 onshore wind turbines have been shipped, primarily for projects in European countries including Romania, France Holland, Turkey, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Italy, and have complied more than one million operating hours. This machine is designed as an evolutionary product and built upon the success of GE’s 1.5-megawatt wind turbine, the world’s most widely deployed megawatt-class wind turbine with nearly 14,000 units installed.
“With its excellent wind conditions and favorable regulations, Poland is one of the most promising wind energy countries in Europe,” said Ricardo Cordoba, President of GE Energy Western Europe & North Africa. “We are pleased that the first application of our 2.5-100 technology in Poland is helping the country meet its clean energy targets.”
The Power That Turns the World
More people around the world turn to us for advanced power systems and around-the-clock energy services than any other company. Since we installed our first steam turbine in 1901, our installed base of steam and heavy-duty gas turbines has grown to over 10,000 units, representing over a million Megawatts (MW) of installed capacity in more than 120 countries. With over 5,500 wind and 3,600 hydro turbines, the installed capacity of renewable energy exceeds 160,000 MW.
A Powerful Future
GE works closely with customers to achieve mutual growth and success. We work in tandem with governments and communities to manage complex international relationships and develop critical infrastructures. We also work intimately with suppliers, enabling them to become extended GE factories and platforms for accelerated globalization. Through these powerful partnerships, we create innovative products and technologies that serve the world's people
| Data acquisition module Data Acquisition is a completely redesigned data acquisition system combining GE's hardware capability with the new Sxp software platform. The new system consists of the 408 Dynamic Signal Processing instrument (DSPi) and ADRE® Sxp software. Highly portable, ADRE® Sxp is designed to meet the changing needs of various fleet asset management programs as well as all other industries where speed and flexibility in data collection are a must. | 
| Data collector and machine analyzer Snapshot IS provides intrinsically safe data collection / analysis in a convenient, palm-sized package weighing just 1.5 lbs. (680 grams). With both a phase input and a dynamic signal input, it is the industry's only data collector in this size/weight range that boasts both intrinsically safe operation and the ability to capture not just static readings but waveforms, vectors (for balancing and diagnostics), phase information, and spectra. | |
