Siemens Gamesa to extend the useful life of a customer’s entire fleet of wind turbines in Aragon

November 29, 2018 evwind.

The company will implement its life extension program on 264 wind turbines (237.5 MW) located at six wind farms in Aragon.
This program guarantees the availability of the wind turbines until year 30, extending their useful life by ten years. The initial design useful life of a wind turbine is 20 years.
The contract also includes the operation of the turbines and full scope maintenance services

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) reached an agreement with one of its Spanish clients to implement its life extension program on its entire operating fleet, consisting of 264 wind turbines of different models with an average age of 15 years. These turbines are located at six wind farms in the provinces of Zaragoza and Teruel and have a total output capacity of 237.5 MW.

The Life Extension program consists of monitoring and structural upgrades that can guarantee the availability of wind turbines until year 30, extending their estimated useful life by 10 years. This program provides greater control over operation and maintenance costs and streamlines the cost of energy.

In addition, Siemens Gamesa will continue to operate these turbines and provide full scope maintenance services.

“This contract demonstrates the trust placed in us by our customers and the added value of our services. Our company has been in charge of the maintenance of these turbines since they were installed and we will now implement enhancements to extend their useful life until year 30, adding 10 years of income,” said John Paul Larrañeta, Service CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s Southern Europe and Africa region.

Siemens Gamesa’s Service business maintains nearly 56,700 MW (onshore and offshore) in 62 countries. Specifically, in Spain the company maintains more than 62 wind farms with a total capacity of 5,900 MW.

Faut être marteau pour proposer un tel prix, autant acheter le terrain, ca coutera 20 à 50 fois moins cher!

Ce n'est pas juste une location, c'est aussi une taxe.
Je me suis basé sur une commune du Vercors qui loue 20000€ par an le terrain pour 4 ou 6 éoliennes.

A moins que ce soit la location du terrain, mais c'est de l'ordre de 5000€ par an, soit 250h de fonctionnement à pleine charge d'une éolienne de 500kW avec un prix spot à 40€/MWh.

Il faudra peut-être songer à forcer les exploitants à mieux provisionner cette étape du cycle de vie de leur produit.

Vestas to repower two wind farms in Italy

December 1, 2017 evind

Vestas has received a combined 53 MW repowering order for the Castiglione Messer Marino and Schiavi d’Abruzzo wind parks, underlining repowering’s growing significance in wind energy’s continued growth. Vestas will replace 59 units of third party 600 kW turbines with 16 V112-3.3 MW turbines and hereby increase the wind parks’ nominal power by 50 percent whilst reducing the number of wind turbines by more than 70 percent.

The orders are placed by E2i Energie Speciali Srl, a company owned by F2i (Fondi italiani per le infrastrutture) and Edison/EDF group, and are the only projects that will be constructed in the Abruzzo region in central Italy derived from Italy’s 2016 and latest auction.

Alberto Musso, Chief Operating Office of E2i Energie Speciali, added “Replacing old machines with fewer, taller and especially more modern units with increased reliability and higher electricity production is one of the main targets of our company. E2i has an historical business relationship with Vestas and this contract to replace wind turbines in two wind farms in the Abruzzo region further strengthens our partnership.”

Having installed more than 40 percent of Italy’s total wind capacity, today’s order underlines Vestas’ leading position in Italy. The projects take Vestas’ announced orders in Italy in 2017 to 169 MW, while order intake from Italian auctions over the last five years surpasses 840 MW.

Marco Graziano, President of Vestas Mediterranean, said “These projects show we are the preferred choice within repowering and underline how our unique technological solutions and auction-related offerings enable our customers’ success in auctions. Vestas’ repowering capabilities will further strengthen our position in Italy as the country’s growing number of older wind turbines will be replaced with modern wind technology that reduces the cost of energy and increases output.”

Turbine delivery is expected for the third quarter of 2018, whilst commissioning is planned for the fourth quarter of 2018. For the two wind parks, the order includes supply and installation of respectively 12 and four Vestas turbines.

Gamesa to repower a German wind farm with 4.5 MW wind turbines

February 17, 2016 evwind

Gamesa, a global technology leader in wind energy, continues to make inroads with its business strategy for Northern Europe, having received its first order from Energiekontor, one of Germany’s leading renewable energy developers, for the repowering of a wind farm to be equipped with three G128-4.5 MW turbines.

By installing these three turbines, with aggregate capacity of 13.5 MW, Gamesa will overhaul the Debstedt wind farm located in the state of Lower Saxony near Bremerhaven, in north-west Germany. Operational since 1998, this facility, currently equipped with 11 1-MW capacity turbines, will be upgraded with new technology: eight of the old turbines will be replaced by three new 4.5 MW turbines. As a result, the annual output of the wind farm will be doubled.

“This contract marks a milestone in our strategy for Northern Europe as it is the first order to supply the G128-4.5 MW in such a market as Germany, while also evidencing the credibility Gamesa products have earned in the eyes of customers”, underscored Martin G. Hake, Head of Sales for Gamesa in Germany.

Gamesa will also operate and maintain the facility for 18 years.
