Swedish Wind Power Developer Windico AB signs 15 MW contract with Kenersys

But the numbers are increasing: 198 new wind turbines were installed in Sweden during 2009 and the electricity harnessed from wind farm increased by nearly 26 percent in 2009 compared to 2008. And the targets are ambitious: The Swedish government is planning for a tenfold increase in wind energy by 2020, mainly driven by local players to raise the acceptance.

At the national wind energy congress VIND2010 Swedish project developer Windico AB (Ånge) signed a contract with German wind turbine manufacturer Kenersys. 6 wind turbines Kenersys K100 2.5 MW with a hub height of 100 meters, are intended for a wind farm project near the city of Ånge, Västernorrland.

The wind farm project, totalling 15 MW, was developed by Windico AB. The Portberget wind park will be installed and commissioned by 2011. In addition to the 6 turbines for the Portberget site Windico and Kenersys agreed upon an option for additional 8 Kenersys K100 wind turbines.

"Kenersys has proactively demonstrated that they have a strategic interest in a long-term cooperation with Windico. Kenersys has shown their ability to provide us with high-quality, highly reliable and robust turbines, that are ideally suited to maximize the energy yield on the prospected sites. The existing projects in Sweden, the production facility in Germany and the stringent quality philosophy have convinced us. And with the "open source service" strategy Kenersys enables us to service our turbines with our own staff and to establish our own service business to create local job opportunities in a sustainable manner", Magnus Damberg, Vice President Windico AB, says.

Andreas von Bobart, CEO Kenersys Europe, states: "With this project signed at the Vind2010 we are on a good way to establish our company in the Swedish market along with the existing and contracted projects in Sweden. We are happy to announce this contract with Windico since the company is very ambitious to build medium-sized projects in Sweden with a high local acceptance. That is the way Kenersys wants to grow with its partners in Sweden".

The Portberget wind farm will provide 4,500 households in the region with clean, wind powered electricity. KENERSYS is a global wind turbine manufacturing company with an in-depth knowledge in on-shore multi-megawatt wind turbines.

KENERSYS concentrates on multi-megawatt on-shore turbines. The two platforms K82 2.0MW and K100 2.5MW are both pitch regulated, variable speed, full conversion turbines with a synchronous generator. They are designed to suit wind regimes according to IEC Type Class IIa and IIIa respectively.

With the expertise of more than 400 years experience in wind turbine design the KENERSYS engineers have advanced the 10.000 times proven technology of a distributed drive train to the KENERSYS cutting edge technology – SYNERDRIVE TECHNOLOGY.

SYNERDRIVE TECHNOLOGY is the KENERSYS evolutionary and synergetic drive train technology that combines the advantages of a robust mechanical drive train concept with a unique electrical architecture to easily fulfil all modern grid requirements and harsh grid and climate conditions.

The K100 2.5 MW wind turbine generator is a variable speed, pitch regulated machine with the SYNERDRIVE TECHNOLOGY – an advanced distributed drive train and the unique electrical concept that is based on a full conversion system with an electrically excited synchronous generator.

Mature component design with demonstrated reliability is the basis for a proven and economic design with high availability for sustainable investment.

Best possible component reliability that is crucial for the stable operation of wind turbine generator system is the integral element of the design of this wind turbine platform.
