Siemens Wind Turbine with the World’s Largest Rotor Goes Into Operation

Siemens Energy has begun field testing of its new 154 m rotor for the 6-megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine in Osterild, Denmark. The SWT-6.0-154 turbine is equipped with the world’s longest rotor blades – each blade is 75 meters in length. With a record rotor diameter of 154 meters, each SWT-6.0-154 turbine can produce 25 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity in offshore locations, enough to supply 6,000 households. As early as May 2011, Siemens installed the first prototype of its new 6-MW turbine using a 120 m rotor. It has now been operating successfully for well over a year. The serial version of the 6-MW turbine will use the 154 m rotor and is expected to become the new benchmark in the offshore wind industry.
