Electricity from a European offshore wind farm using SG 11-200 wind turbines

The SG 11.0-200 DD has evolved from generations of proven offshore Direct Drive technology. A showcase of strong performance, swift time to market and a low level of risk in the offshore wind industry. Since the first offshore Direct Drive turbine was made commercially available several years ago, our Direct Drive turbines have seen upgrades in performance and benefits to our customers – all building on many generations of proven technology. Now, by taking this even further, the newest generation of Siemens Gamesa Direct Drive wind turbines offer the same reliability with a capacity of 11 MW.

The 11 MW rating is made possible through a larger generator diameter, reusing the proven Direct Drive generator technology. By increasing the rotor diameter to an impressive 200 meters with 97-meter-long blades, the SG 11.0-200 DD offers up to 40% more annual energy production than its predecessor, the SG 8.0-167 DD.
