The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Siemens Energy Inc. recently commissioned a new 2.3 megawatt Siemens wind turbine at NREL's National Wind Technology Center. This video shows a time lapse of the installation. The turbine is the centerpiece of a multi-year project to study the performance and aerodynamics of a new class of large, land-based machines — in what will be the biggest government-industry research partnership for wind power generation ever undertaken in the U.S.

  • Yea I perform preventative maitenence on it.

  • This turbine is incredible. Full-converter technology is the future, completely de-coupling the rotor from electrical output to ensure that the turbine can be managed for optimal aerodynamic performance.
