WinDS3000 / WinDS3300 — wind turbines, 3–3.3 MW

Description

WinDS3000 and WinDS3300 are megawatt-class wind turbines of the manufacturer's own design, optimized for areas with low wind speeds. The WinDS3000 is the first wind turbine in Korea developed for both onshore and offshore use, and the upgraded WinDS3300 was based on it. Both models are suitable for land and sea. The rated power of the WinDS3000 is 3000 kW and of the WinDS3300 is 3300 kW. The turbines belong to class S (special class per IEC 61400-1) and have a rotor 134 m in diameter with blades 65.5 m long. Cut-in wind speed is 3 m/s, rated wind speed is 10 m/s (WinDS3000) and 10.7 m/s (WinDS3300; the brochure gives 11 m/s for both models), cut-out wind speed is 20 m/s; the structure withstands an extreme gust of 59.5 m/s. Rotor hub height according to the range illustration is 90 m. A large rotor combined with a relatively low generator rating gives a high capacity factor at an average annual wind speed of 6–7 m/s. Standard quality assurance and optimization systems of the manufacturer, based on experience in power engineering, apply to the turbines. The manufacturer carries out the full cycle of wind energy projects: site selection and assessment, analysis of the wind resource and feasibility study, equipment supply, EPC construction of onshore and offshore wind farms, and operation and maintenance. Turbines of the manufacturer operate at a number of onshore and offshore wind farms in Korea. Wind turbines are produced in the Republic of Korea; more than 70 % of the key components are purchased from Korean suppliers. The series is an alternative to 3 MW-class turbines for areas with moderate wind potential, including onshore wind farms.
