Renewable Energy
used the Wind Power 2011 conference in Chennai, India, to launch its S9X suite of wind turbines. Chairman, founder and md Tulsi R Tant said: “Te wind industry is rapidly evolving; the centre of gravity has shifted to emerging markets which are re-shaping the sector. Tis shift is also dictating the direction of technology development as more moderate and low wind sites become available in these new markets. Te S9X suite of turbines has been developed to take advantage of these emerging opportunities. We are confident the S9X suite extends our competitive edge in emerging high-growth markets like India, China and Brazil and other select matured markets.” Speaking at the event, John O’Halloran, president – technology - Suzlon Energy, added: “Customer centricity is the hallmark of our new products. Te S9X suite of turbines has been specifically designed keeping in mind the needs of the market. We have engaged closely with our customers in the development phase. We’ve incorporated their input at the design stage - delivering not only a better product, but also significantly improving project execution and servicing of the machines in the field.” He added: “Every aspect of the turbine – the blades, the generator and sub-systems – features improved designs to deliver a higher return on investment. Te machines also have better grid compatibility and are in accordance with the highest safety standards. Te end result is a range of products which are extremely reliable, delivering significant increase in energy yield
at a low cost through its life cycle.”
Te S9X suite is an evolution of Suzlon’s proven technology platform, and is built around a core doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based technology. A compact and modular DFIG design allows ease of serviceability and meets the latest grid requirements for smoother wind power plant connectivity. New blade designs with rotor diameters of 95 metres and 97 metres offer a larger swept area add to this with greater energy capture and power production from moderate to low wind speeds. ●
