Two blade turbine developer rewrites the rules for its 8 MW model

摘要

You can't accuse SCD Technology of thinking small or conventionally. SCD, for Super Compact Drive, has introduced plans for an 8 MW, two-blade, downwind, turbine intended for offshore work. Developer aerodyn engineering says to forget 'next generation' technology. Just use today's standards and what's available now. "Old conventions should be seen as new challenges, not as restrictive factors," says founder Soenke Siegfriedsen. Aerodyn engineering says its knowledge and experience provide enough to develop ahead of the conventional thinking. Siegfriedsen, company founder and owner, says he wants to shape the future in the right direction. For him, that points to the SCD 8.0 MW turbine for offshore applications. The company has already built two-blade turbines of 3 and 6 MW.
