- Nordtank Energy Group, Richmond, VA (United States)
The Danish company Nordtank is one of the pioneers within the wind turbine industry. Since 1981 the Nordtank Energy Group has installed worldwide more than 2200 wind turbine generators (280 MW). Currently, Nordtank is offering wind turbine generators up to 500 kW in nameplate capacity. All wind turbine development is performed in the spirit of one basic design philosophy: {open_quotes}Things should be made as simple as possible{close_quotes}. The efficiency of the Nordtank wind turbine generators has improved considerably. This paper documents the improvements in the wind energy conversion efficiency, the weight efficiency, the WTG costs and the wind power plant economics for the various Nordtank WTGs. Nordtank`s R.&D. department continues to work on the improvement of the efficiency factors of its existing WTGs. Furthermore, new and larger WTGs are developed: the prototype of a 1.5 MW wind turbine will be installed this fall.
