Furthermore, the dimensions correspond exactly to those of the REpower 5M, so the REpower 6M can later be used in all the projects planned for this turbine type.
In the coming years, the company initially plans to erect several test systems on land within the framework of preproduction. Later, the REpower 6M, just as the 5M, will be produced in the Offshore and Logistics Centre in Bremerhaven, and from there, directly shipped to the installation locations on the high seas.
REpower will be presenting its products from April 20 to April 24, 2009 at the Hannover Messe at Booth F11 in Hall 27. Among other things, a reproduction of a nacelle of the REpower 3.XM in its original size will be presented at the 240 m2 large exhibition booth. The onshore turbine first erected at the end of 2008 is characterised as well by REpower quality features such as high reliability and ease of service.
The load validation on our three test systems recently erected on the German-Danish border shows that the 6M is designed for operation with a continuous power output of 6,150 kW. These values have now been verified externally, so that the REpower 6M, with its increase in rated power of 150 kW, is currently the most powerful turbine in the world, explained REpower Chief Technology Officer Matthias Schubert.
