GE’S NEWEST WIND TURBINE INNOVATION

GE Software Boosts 2.5 MW Turbines' Power Curve To 2.75 MW At Turkish Wind Farm

6 February 2013 (North American Windpower)

“…[GE] WindBOOST control software has been installed [in the 31 GE 2.5 MW turbines] at Zorlu Enerji Group's Gokcedag Wind Farm in Turkey…According to GE, WindBOOST makes it possible for GE's 2.5 MW wind turbines to increase their power curve to 2.75 MW, which will boost the wind farm's annual energy production by up to 4%.”

“Depending on the wind speed and other site atmospheric conditions, the WindBOOST control automatically activates to increase the energy produced by each unit…Alternatively, WindBOOST can be turned on and off remotely, providing flexibility to ramp up power production…The 31 wind turbines now operate at the same power curve as 2.75 MW units…”
