Pier II wind farm, Mexico
Name and Location
Pier II wind farm, Puebla state, Mexico.
Client
Iberdrola and Impulsora Latinoamericana de Energías Renovables.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of 66 MW wind farm in the municipality of Esperanza, in Puebla state, one of the windiest regions in Mexico.
It will be equipped with 33 Gamesa G97 wind turbines, each with a unit capacity of 2 MW.
The wind farm will be able to supply renewable energy to 25 000 Mexican households and avoid about 55 000 t/y of carbon dioxide emissions.
Pier II is the first wind farm to be designed by Iberdrola using supercomputing – more specifically, a system called Sedar (the Spanish acronym for high-resolution wind power simulation) developed along with the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre.
This system allows for wind turbines to be positioned in the locations with the best potential for producing energy by performing an analysis that takes the entire life cycle of the facility into account. MareNostrum, the leading supercomputer in Spain and one of the most powerful in the world, was used for this purpose.
Value
$120-million.
