Siemens Gamesa successfully installed the first G114-2.0 with T153m, the tallest WTG in ASIA.
The project is owned by the company Gunkul Engineering PCL, implying the installation of 33 turbines with total capacity of 67.5 MW at the Sarahnlom wind farm. All of the turbines at this wind complex will be equipped with 153-metre tall steel towers (roughly half the height of New York's Chrysler Building); factoring in its 56-metre blades, they will reach a total height from ground to blade tip of around 210 metres.
Siemens Gamesa achieved the contract - 18 units of the G114-2.0 MW model and 15 of the G114-2.1 MW - the turbines will also be the longest ever supplied by Siemens Gamesa.
“Siemens Gamesa's R&D team has achieved a major technological feat by designing such tall towers. We are demonstrating once again our ability to respond to what the market needs and the versatility of our turbines”, said Alvaro Bilbao, Chairman& CEO of APAC, Siemens Gamesa.
The turbines were supplied the first quarter of 2017 and will be commissioned the same year. In addition, Siemens Gamesa will maintain the complex for the next 10 years.
In addition to Thailand, Siemens Gamesa's Asian footprint extends to Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, China and India, having installed over 11,136 MW in these markets.
