Germany-based OEM Senvion has completed the installation of the first 3.6M140 EBC turbine prototype for moderate and strong winds at a test field near the northern German town of Husum, where the Husum Wind 2017 fair takes place next week.

Serial production for the turbine has already begun with further installations planned for this year.

The new turbine is equipped with the load-reducing pitch control system Eco Blade Control (EBC) technology for load management.
