Nordex Group has received the first order for its new light-wind N131/3600 turbine from developer GP Joule.
The N131/3600 will be erected in December on a 106-metre tubular steel tower at a site near Husum at Windtestfeld Nord in Schleswig-Holstein.
Nordex expects the machine to produce an annual energy yield of 12.9m kWh, equating to a capacity factor of more than 40%.
Following commissioning, the German manufacturer will have the sound power level and technical performance of the turbine measured for site-specific certification.
GP Joule co-founder and chief executive Ove Petersen said: “The test field offers us an opportunity to thoroughly test this turbine class in real operation at a wind-intensive site from planning through construction down to commercial and technical operation management.”
