GE has announced that a prototype of the new 2.5-120, is operational at a test site in Wieringermeer, The Netherlands.

The 2.5-120, announced in January, harnesses the power of the Industrial Internet to analyse tens of thousands of data points every second allowing for management of variable wind sources to provide smooth, predictable power. The turbine integrates energy storage and forecasting algorithms while communicating seamlessly with neighbouring turbines, service technicians and operators. GE has worked with ECN, a Dutch independent research institute for renewable energy, for the past decade to validate its newest technologies. The 2.5-120 prototype will be tested and validated through fall 2013.
