Siemens Energy will supply a dozen wind turbines for Süderlügum wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein, located about 20 kilometers from the North Sea coast in northern Germany. The 3-megawatt turbines will provide the publicly-operated facility with 36 megawatts of installed capacity. The direct drive units can produce power in both windy and still conditions by using reactive power.
“This option enables the wind turbines to stabilize the alternating current power grid when no wind is blowing, by producing reactive power and feeding this power into the grid,” Reinhard Christiansen, one of the wind farm’s managers, said in a statement.
Siemens will install the turbines late this year.
This onshore order from the coastal region of Nordfriesland is the third project with Siemens to be implemented by Christiansen, who manages the publicly-operated wind farm business together with Horst Leithoff and Peter Steffens. Siemens turbines were installed at the Grenzstrom Vindvedt and Ellhöft wind farms.
