Süderlügum onshore wind power project, Germany
Name and Location
Süderlügum onshore wind power project, Nordfriesland, Germany.
Client
Süderlügum publicly operated wind farm.
Project Description
The Süderlügum wind farm is located about 20 km from the North Sea coast. Each of the 12 wind turbines has a capacity of 3 MW. Compared with conventional, geared units, these turbines have half as many parts and considerably less moving components. This enhances efficiency and reduces operating costs. The wind farm will even take advantage of renewable-energy sources during calm weather, through Siemens’ “Reactive Power at No Wind” technology. This option enables the wind turbines to stabilise the alternating current power grid when no wind is blowing by producing reactive power and feeding this power into the grid. This reduces operating costs for the regional power supply grid, while doing away with the need for phase shifters.

Duration
The installation of Süderlügum onshore wind power plant is scheduled for late 2014.
Latest Developments
Siemens Energy has secured an order for a total capacity of 36 MW in Nordfriesland. Siemens will supply 12 direct-drive wind turbines, 11 model SWT-3.0-113 and one model SWT-3.0-101 turbine.
The owner has also contracted Siemens for service and maintenance for 20 years to ensure the long-term economical operation of the wind farm.
