Senvion India Announces Installation of 3.1 M130 turbine

Senvion India today announced commercializing its upgraded 3.1M variant of the 2XM series turbines with its prototype commissioning. The 3.1M130 turbine is expected to be ready for commercial installation in India in Q1-25 post RLMM listing. The company said that this marked a landmark in Senvion’s journey towards reliable wind energy solutions thereby reducing LCOE.

“The 3.1M130 builds on the proven success of the 2XM platform, a trusted solution for Senvion’s clients. Senvion’s team of experts continually enhance and improve turbine offerings, ensuring customers have access to cutting-edge technology that meets their evolving needs. In an industry characterized by rapidly changing market trends,” the company said in a statement.

Amit Kansal, CEO and MD, Senvion India said, “The successful installation of the 3.1M130 turbine underscore our commitment to innovation and excellence. This new turbine model represents our dedication to providing our clients with the best technology available, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. The turbine is designed for Indian environment and grid conditions to ensure grid stability. With over 80% localization, this turbine supports job creation and the growth of the Indian economy.”

Juergen Birnbaum, CTO of Senvion India said, “The 3.1M130 turbine features advanced capabilities well-suited for durability and efficiency. It boasts a longer lifespan with enhanced reliability, designed to withstand the unique challenges of the Indian landscape. It has a robustly designed nacelle equipped with a sophisticated control system to assure high performance even at low wind speeds. This model is based on the well-proven technology and is an enhancement of our high-selling and robust 2.7M130 turbine.”

The company while about the model on its website said that this model’s higher capacity allows it to generate higher power at ultra low wind speeds. “Our new 3MW+ series wind turbine generator with a hub height of 130m has been optimized for higher yields at medium – low wind site. With an operating temperature range of upto 49 °C, it can also be operated in tropical climates. The supply chain is localized. The 3.XM series is fully compliant with Indian grid code requirement,” Senvion said.

As per the latest RLMM List of the MNRE, India is home to 31 wind turbine manufacturers, with several offshore companies producing its wind components in the country. With the passage of time, several wind companies in India are working to produce large wind turbines with strong capacities. For example-Suzlon Energy has already bagged wind turbine order for its pet 3 MW wind turbines. Adani Group has already tried its 5.2 MW of wind turbines. On the other hand, companies like Inox Wind has also announced production of its 3 MW wind turbines from next year.
