V162, 6.0 MW supplies green electricity
A new wind turbine built by greenwind: a Vestas V162, 6.0 MW is now operational at the Werder-Zinndorf wind farm in the municipality of Rehfelde (Märkisch-Oderland district, Brandenburg). It is able to supply more than 4,000 households with green electricity.
The V162 has a total height of 250 m with a rotor diameter of 162 m. Prolonged approval processes, the size of the turbine, long access roads (2,150 m) and complex requirements regarding the grid connection point meant the greenwind team had to meet a number of challenges.
The length of the three blades made the temporary reconstruction of the motorway exit necessary. Several monitoring systems have been installed in the wind turbine for the protection of oil and gas pipelines running across the wind farm. Among other things, the vibration of the tower is measured here. The turbine is located 1,000 metres from residential buildings. Noise reduction measures are planned for night-time operation to protect local residents.
In order to minimise the risk of damage regular inspections of the wind turbine are carried out: a special case for our greenwind engineers, who use vibration measurements at regular intervals to detect the causes of rotor blade imbalances at an early stage.
