    1.5MW

    Series Wind Turbine

    Cefn Croes, Wales 39 x 1.5se total capacity: 58.5 MW

    Gatun, Spain 33 x 1.5sl total capacity: 49.5 MW

    When it comes to "megawatt-plus" technology, our proven 1.5 MW wind turbine continues to raise the bar. From ongoing technology investments in reliability and dependability, to more cost effective and versatile configurations, it need not rest on its past successes. Today, with over 3,300 units in operation worldwide, the 1.5 MW continues to be one of the world's most widely used wind turbines in its class.
    Active yaw and pitch regulated with power/torque control capability and an asynchronous generator, the 1.5 MW machine utilizes a bedplate drive train design where all nacelle components are joined on a common structure, providing exceptional durability. The generator and gearbox are supported by elastomeric elements to minimize noise emissions.

    Haute Lys, France 25 x 1.5s total capacity: 37.5 MW

    The 1.5 MW wind turbine also employs a variety of features inherent in GEs full line of wind turbines which range from 1.5 to 3.6 MW, for both on and offshore use.

    GEs Fleet-Wide Features and Benefits


    Feature Variable Hub heights & rotor diameters Variable Speed Control and Advanced Blade Pitch WindVAR (optional) (Wind-Volt-Amp-Reactive WindVAR) Low Voltage Ride-Thru (optional) Benefit Provides versatility/adaptability to a wide variety of project sites Enables aerodynamic efficiency and reduces loads to the drive train, thereby reducing maintenance cost and providing longer turbine life GEs unique electronics provide transmission efficiencies and enable harmonious function within the local grid Allows wind turbines to stay on line generating power, even during grid disturbances.
