Wind turbine information

11 GE XLE 1.6 MW Wind Turbine Generators

    • Hub height – 80 meters (242 feet)
    • Wind turbine blades – 3 blades/40 meters each (131 feet)
    • Rotor diameter – 82.5 meters (271 feet)
    • Swept area – 5,346 square meters (1.3 acres)
    • Designed to operate between 9.8 and 18.7 RPM
    • Active yaw control – steers the machine with respect to wind direction
    • Active blade pitch control – regulates turbine rotor speed

The project’s net capacity factor is estimated to be approximately 32.8 percent.
