Suzlon Group has launched its new S9X suite of wind turbines at the Wind Power 2011 conference in Chennai, India. Mr. Tulsi R. Tanti, founder, Chairman and Managing Director - Suzlon Group said: “We have a very tight focus on providing higher yields for our customers at a lower cost even from low wind sites. This suite of products is an important addition to our portfolio, expanding on our proven, reliable technology platform to deliver more efficient wind power solutions customized to our customers’ exact needs. We are confident the S9X suite extends our competitive edge in emerging high-growth markets like India, China and Brazil and
other select matured markets.”
The S9X suite is an evolution of Suzlon’s proven technology platform, and is built around a
core doubly fed induction generator-based technology. A compact and modular DFIG design
allows ease of serviceability and meets the latest grid requirements for smoother wind.
New blade designs with rotor diameter of 95 meter and 97 meter offers a larger swept area add to this with greater energy capture and power production from moderate to low wind speeds. To ensure the highest standards in quality, Suzlon’s blade testing far exceeds industry baseline by simulating total life cycle of blade (1 million cycles) in most extreme onsite conditions.
The turbines boast of variable tower heights of 90 or 100 meters, leading to low cost optimization and higher power generation. The S9X turbines also comply with low voltage regulation (LVRT) requirement, this leads to better compliance with grid regulation. Additionally, improved sub-systems like the new pitch and yaw systems have increased system reliability of the machines.
