Pune: Suzlon Group, India’s largest renewable energy solutions provider, today announced the order of the 3 MW product series for the development of a 50.4 MW wind power project for Juniper Green Energy Private Limited. Suzlon will install 16 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) tower of their new product with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW each. The project is located at Dwarka district in Gujarat and is expected to be commissioned in 2025.

This is the repeat order for the company’s largest turbine rated 3.15 MW, S144-140m from the 3 MW series. As part of the agreement, Suzlon will supply the wind turbines (equipment supply) and execute the project including, erection and commissioning. Suzlon will also provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services post-commissioning. The electricity from this project will serve the people of Gujarat.

As part of this project, Suzlon will supply 16 wind turbines with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW each. The Project will be completed in 2025 at Dwarka district in Gujarat. It’s part of a bid awarded to Juniper Green Energy Private Limited by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL). A project of this size can provide electricity to ~38 thousand households and curb ~1.51 lakh tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Suzlon’s 3 MW turbines feature a 144-meter rotor diameter and are designed to unlock low wind sites and deliver improved energy yield suitable for all Indian wind regimes. The product has local content of up to 85-90%.

The S144 wind turbine generator is one of the largest in India, extendable up to 3.15 MW, depending on site wind conditions, available at a hub height of 140 meters going up to 160 meters by its serial launch. At 160 meters hub height the S144 will also be India’s tallest wind turbine. Suzlon’s S144 fleet will deliver a remarkable 40-43% higher generation over Suzlon’s current model, the S120 – 2.1 MW wind turbine, showcasing its ability to optimize wind resources at higher altitudes and make low-wind sites viable.

Furthermore, the 3 MW turbine generators feature the time-tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology and the SB 70.5 carbon fiber blade engineered and developed by Suzlon. This technology provides the capability to utilize thinner aerodynamic profiles, resulting in performance in low-wind sites, and a significant increase in generation yield per unit of land, the company said in a note.
