Enercon had added two more options for strong wind locations to its line of wind energy converters. In the future the product range will include a Wind Class I version of both the E-82 and the E-101 series.
The E-82 for strong wind sites will be available with a rated power of 2.35MW. The rated power of the corresponding E-101 WECs will be the same as the other machines in this category (3.05MW) which until now were only available as Wind Class II versions. In addition to various tower and foundation versions, both strong wind series are available with four different grid connection configurations which enable connection to the grid in all target markets in accordance with the local grid codes. Both series are also available with cold or hot climate features. Furthermore, the series also include the Enercon storm control feature, the Enercon Scada system as well as various operating modes. The strong wind versions of the E-82 and E-101 are primarily destined for export markets. The two machines are expected to be available in series at the beginning of 2015 (E-82) and 2016 (E-101).
