Suzlon Group announced that it has successfully completed the production of its first blade for its best-in-class S111 2.1 MW turbine. The S111 is a technologically advanced product of the S88 and S97 2.1 MW family. This product has been specifically designed for Suzlon’s next-generation 2.1 MW turbine, and is engineered to deliver a 62% increase in annual energy production (AEP) at a 120-meter hub-height (compared to Suzlon’s S88 wind turbine model). The blade is designed to harness the optimal available wind resources and deliver higher energy productivity, which in turn ensures a higher return-on-investment (ROI) to customers.  

 

Measuring 54.8 meters in length (that’s ~80% longer than one wing of a Boeing 777), the blade is the longest and cleanest aerodynamic profile Suzlon has produced to date. This milestone has been achieved due to an effective integration between the product design, the production unit, and the tool design. The turbine design makes it ideal for low-wind sites in growth markets, such as the United States.
