The Nordex N100/2500 kW is a 2.5 MW wind turbine specially configured for low and moderate wind conditions.
The prominent feature of the N100 is its 49 meter long rotor blades, resulting in a large rotor diameter of some 100 meters. At 7,823 square meters, this produces an increase of 23 percent in rotor sweep compared with the N90/2500 turbine, making the N100 particularly suitable for low wind conditions with average wind speeds 7.5 m/s.
The N100 marks a further development of the N80/N90 family. More than 700 N80/N90 turbines either have been already installed or are currently being assembled (as of 9/2007). All enhancements to the N80/N90 turbines developed over the past seven years have been incorporated in the turbine design. Numerous new detail solutions ensure heightened availability and greater yield in non-coastal locations in particular.
Grid compatibility is based on the proven engineering model used in the N90/2500. The turbine will be certified in accordance with DIBt2 and IEC 3a.It is supplied in a 50 Hz version, with a 60 Hz version also available for the US market. The turbine is available on 100 meter steel tube towers.
