The ECO 110, which features a 110mt rotor diameter, can produce enough energy for approximately 2000 households, and avoid the production of 7000 tonnes a year of CO2.
Alstom said that its wind turbines are based upon the Alstom Pure Torque rotor support concept, which protects the gearbox and other drive train components from deflection loads. The ECO 110 is the second model of the company’s new 3MW ECO 100 platform.
Alfonso Faubel, vice president of Alstom Wind, said: “With the commercial introduction of the ECO 100 wind turbine last year, and now the ECO 110, Alstom confirms its determination to lead the field in large onshore wind turbines with advanced design, robust technology and proven reliability.
“Our ongoing investment in this new generation of turbines provides our customers with powerful, efficient and flexible options that open up new opportunities for wind farm development across Europe and the world.”
