Chief technology officer Henrik Stiesdal tells Recharge that rumours that the German manufacturer is considering bringing out a geared version of its new 6MW offshore turbine are “totally nonsense”.
“We have the smartest and most beautiful machine — why in the world would we consider going backwards?”
Siemens added the new SWT 2.3-113 direct-drive machine to its existing SWT 3.0-101 turbine earlier this year, and will begin serial production next year.
