How many rotors does a 2 MW turbine have?

The evolution of GE’s 2 MW Platform began with the introduction of a 1.5 MW turbine (the 1.5i) with a 65-meter rotor in 1996. That product evolved to a 70.5-meter rotor turbine, called the 1.5s. A 77-meter rotor machine called the 1.5sle was introduced later in 2004.

What is a 2 MW onshore turbine?

The 2 MW onshore platform drivetrain and electrical system architecture provide improved performance along with greater wind turbine energy production. Other critical components have been scaled from existing platforms to meet the specific technical requirements of this evolutionary turbine.

What is a 2 MW wind turbine?

The 2 MW onshore wind turbine demonstrates the next step in wind turbine technology and efficiency, reducing the cost of energy for customers with low and medium wind speed sites. GE Vernova offers 116-meter (50,60 Hz), 127-meter (60 Hz) and 132-meter (50 Hz) rotor options with nameplate ratings between 2.5-2.8 MW.

Does GE offer a 127 meter rotor for onshore wind turbines?

GE’s 2 MW Platform of onshore wind turbines has more than 5.5 GW installed and operating today. Building on that success, GE ofers a 127-meter rotor option for 2.2-2.5 MW rated wind turbines.

How does a 2 MW generator work?

To keep the blades pointed into the wind, the 2 MW-116 uses a passive yaw control system, and the 2 MW-127 uses an active yaw control system. GE’s 2 MW Platform operates at a variable speed and uses a doubly fed asynchronous generator with a partial power converter system.

What makes a 2 MW turbine a good choice?

Created with future generations of turbines in mind, the 2 MW platform’s single-piece bed frame and stronger main bearing housing provide a better foundation for loads. The toughened frame and housing – each made from single-piece castings – work in conjunction to absorb higher loads from the rotor.
