REpower Systems SE has presented a 50-hertz version of its MM100 wind turbine. With rated capacity of 2.0MW and a 100-metre tower, the turbine was specially developed for low-wind locations.
With its large rotor diameter of 100 metres, the turbine guarantees customers an optimum energy yield even when wind speeds are low. A prototype of the MM100 50 Hz is to be constructed in mid-2012 and the serial launch is planned for 2013. The REpower MM100 was originally developed for the North American wind market and up to now only a 60-Hz version has been available. Due to the great demand for a model of the tried and tested MM series with a large rotor, particularly in Europe, the turbine was adapted to a voltage of 50 Hz.
