Suzlon’s 3 MW Turbines Soar High with Juniper Green Energy’s 69.3 MW Order
Suzlon energy limited, a leading renewable energy solutions provider in India, has secured a second order for their 3 MW series turbines. Juniper green energy private limited has ordered 69.3 MW of Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines, which is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and self-reliance. This article will explore the features and benefits of Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines and how they are unlocking low wind sites and delivering improved energy yield.
Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines: a game changer
Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines boast a 144-meter rotor diameter designed to unlock low wind sites and deliver improved energy yield suitable for all Indian wind regimes. At 160 meters of hub height, the s144 will also be India’s tallest wind turbine. The s144 fleet will deliver a remarkable 40-43% higher generation over Suzlon’s current model, the s120 – 2.1 MW wind turbine, showcasing its ability to optimize wind resources at higher altitudes and make low-wind sites viable. The turbines are equipped with advanced technology, including a doubly fed induction generator, which allows for variable speed operation and improved grid stability. The turbines also feature a unique blade design that reduces noise levels and improves aerodynamics, resulting in higher energy output. Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines are a game-changer in the Indian wind energy market, as they are designed to unlock low wind sites and deliver improved energy yield. This is a significant development, as India has a vast potential for wind energy, but many sites have low wind speeds, making them unsuitable for traditional wind turbines. Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines are a solution to this problem, as they can generate electricity even in low wind conditions.
Suzlon’s commitment to innovation and self-reliance:
Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines testify to the company’s commitment to innovation and self-reliance. With local content of up to 85-90% by its serial launch, this series proves Suzlon’s commitment to innovation and self-reliance. The company has invested heavily in research and development to create a turbine that is optimized for Indian wind conditions. Suzlon is also contributing to the Indian government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) initiative by promoting local manufacturing and reducing dependence on imports. The company has set up a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in India, which produces all the major components of the turbine, including blades, towers, and generators.
Previous Orders and Successes:
Suzlon has had significant success with its 3 MW turbines, with multiple orders from various companies. First Energy 5 Private Limited, a Thermax Group company, has ordered 39 MW of Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines. Suzlon will install 13 wind turbines with a rated capacity of 3 MW each. The order features the S144 – 140 meters wind turbine from the 3 MW series. This is the first order for turbines from Suzlon’s 3 MW platform. The turbines will be installed on hybrid lattice tubular towers.
Juniper Green Energy Private Limited has also ordered 69.3 MW of Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines. Under the agreement, Suzlon will supply 22 wind turbines with a rated capacity of 3 MW each. This is the second order of the 3 MW series announced within a week. The project is expected to be commissioned in 2024.
Thermax Group, a leading energy and environment solutions provider, has been involved in both orders. First Energy 5 Private Limited is a Thermax Group company, and Suzlon has expressed its commitment to building a strong and self-reliant India together with Thermax Group.
Future Prospects and Conclusion
Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines are a game-changer in the Indian wind energy sector, as they are designed to unlock low wind sites and deliver improved energy yield. With the increasing demand for renewable energy in India, Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines are poised to play a significant role in the country’s energy transition.
