The REpower 5M is representative of the successful transfer of our internationally renowned technology in a new dimension. The many innovative solutions in specific design detail demonstrate again our technical leadership. With a rated power of 5 megawatt and a rotor diameter of 126 metres, the 5M is one of the largest and most powerful wind turbines in the world. The 5M sets new standards for the economic viability of wind farms, especially in offshore installations.
Wind farms with turbines of this size achieve outputs similar to conventional power plants. This in turn puts high demands on the control and regulation system because optimised integration into the power grid is essential. In the 5M, REpower has once again shown how compatibility with the electricity grid can be optimised. The 5M can be integrated without difficulty into the grid, just as any other power plant of its size.
Due to its modular structure and logistical flexibility, the 5M is suitable for onshore and offshore installation. The offshore version is specifically designed to withstand the conditions of the high seas. This includes for example redundancy of key components to guarantee maximum availability, effective protection against corrosion and permanent monitoring.
Our comprehensive and efficient service ensures reliable and cost-effectiveoperation of the 5M over its entire service life.
