Alstom at AWEA Offshore 2011, Anaheim, USA, 22nd 25th May 2011.
Building on 30 years of wind design expertise globally, Alstom delivers higher yields in wind energy thanks to our market-leading technologies and is committed to growing strong partnerships and playing and active role in the North American wind power generation market.
Higher yield onshore
Having installed or currently installing more than 2,100 wind turbines in more than 110 wind farms, corresponding to a total capacity of more than 2,700 MW around the world, Alstom will offer higher yield through the upgrade of our ECO 100 turbine platform.
Offshore solutions
A new offshore platform is under development to offer a 6MW turbine with direct-drive technology and ALSTOM PURE TORQUE design for higher reliability. The prototype phase has started and will run through 2011 and 2012, followed by a pre-series in 2013 and series production in 2014.
ALSTOM PURE TORQUE: design for higher reliability
All Alstoms wind products feature the companys ALSTOM PURE TORQUE concept, a unique mechanical design concept which protects the drive train from deflection loads to ensure a higher reliability.
Alstom in the US
As part of our worldwide wind power installation base, Alstom brought the Adams and Danielson Minnesota wind farms into operation. Each farm uses 12 Alstom ECO 86 wind turbines to generate approximately 20MW of electricity. Construction was completed successfully with zero accidents or injuries during challenging winter weather. The projects were delivered within a tight contractual schedule.
