Field Report #8: Offshore Wind
Today, offshore wind farm operators require strong partners offering large turbines with enhanced reliability, proven track record, high-performance and cost-effective design for higher water depths and greater distance to shore.
Find out how AREVA is helping utilities to make offshore wind projects successful.
The M5000 wind turbine, chosen to equip the first German offshore fleet
Powerful and specifically designed for offshore use, the M5000 wind turbine was selected to equip the first wind farm deployed for widespread use along the German coast, in the North Sea (Alpha Ventus project). The six M5000 turbines intended for this wind farm were installed in summer 2009. They entered into service in November of the same year.
The advantages of the AREVA product line
- A renewable energy portfolio to meet diversifying energy needs.
- Innovative project financing packages.
- High performance turnkey solutions thanks to the group's project management knowledge, its technical expertise and its international dimension.
Powerful turbines designed for offshore use
Offshore wind power meets the needs of the power utilities by developing high power wind farms. AREVA is active within this segment with the M5000 windmill, a 5MW turbine that is light, robust and easy to maintain.
