2 Summary WINDEnergy
The big topics in Wind POWER
• Development of Turbine Sizes
- New dimension of forces working on turbine and foundations
- Impact on life cycle, operational efficiency and reliability
- Relatively little experience compared to other machine tool
industries
- from 2.5 MW upwards (diameters >110 m)

2 Summary WINDEnergy
The big topics in Wind POWER
• Repowering with huge potential?
- Optimized in: design, efficiency, noise emissions, light
reflection, et cetera
- The figures often quoted: half the number of turbines,
twice the capacity, three times the output

1 Summary WIND POWER
• Offshore as the new frontier?
- Roughly twice the output of on-shore due to wind conditions
- Foundations of up to 700 tonnes p. turbine, height of 150m +
- The cost share of foundations (up to 1/3 of total costs)
- Logistically a completely different story to on-shore
- Cooperation crucial (public-private partnerships; international
cooperation; grid system)
