The German industrial powerhouse on Wednesday presented its SWT-7.0-154 turbine during the EWEA Offshore fair in Copenhagen.

The new machine according to Siemens has a 10% higher power output than the 6MW version, mainly thanks to a beefier permanent-magnet generator.

"The 7MW turbine is an upgrade of the 6MW platform that we are very familiar with, and are already installing at both Westermost Rough in the UK and at our Gode Wind 1+2 wind farms in Germany," says Mats Vikholm, senior vice president for Dong Energy Wind Power.
