Wind energy: Nordex, the leader in the production of turbines for wind farms, will supply AES Brasil with another 65 N163/5.X turbines, from the Delta4000 series
AES Brasil once again hired the German multinational Nordex to manufacture and install 55 N163/5.X turbines. After ordering 314 MW for the 313,5 MW wind farm in the Cajuína park in June 2021, AES ordered this week another 65 N163 / 5.X turbines with a total volume of 370 MW for the “Cajuína 2” extension phase.

“Cajuína 2” is part of the Cajuína Wind Complex, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in the municipality of Lajes. Constant average wind speeds of approx. 9,5 m/s gives the site a high capacity factor.
The turbines are expected to be installed in the summer of 2022 and will be supplied in a project-specific operating mode of 5,7 MW. The Nordex Group will manufacture the poles, most of the nacelles, the 120-meter concrete towers and the rotor blades in Brazil.
Giant 80-meter wind turbine manufactured by Aeris Energy for Nordex — one of the largest wind turbine manufacturers in the world — embarks from the Port of Pecém on its way to Europe
The Pecém port complex, in Ceará, celebrates the record shipment of a giant 80,1 meter wind turbine for the German Nordex — one of the largest manufacturers of wind energy turbines in the world!
The size of the wind blade (or propeller) manufactured by Aeris Energy for Nordex is impressive. The shipment of the first unit of this giant — the largest wind turbine ever produced in the southern hemisphere — involved a specialized operation. The more than 80 meters in length required the involvement of several professionals, from manufacturing to transport to the Port of Pecém, in Ceará.
Vortex bladeless turbines could revolutionize wind farms and change the world of renewable energy
Vortex Bladeless, a technology start-up based in Spain (España), is developing wind turbines that don't need blades (or propellers). One of the objectives is to be able to use these turbines in urban and residential spaces, where the impact of ecological parks would be too great. Similar to a “giant straw”, according to its creators, it came to change the world of renewable energy.
Bladeless turbines (or propellers) could be the future of wind energy and renewable energy. Vortex Bladeless claims that the turbine is not a danger to bird migration patterns or wildlife, especially if used in urban environments. Additionally, he claims that the noise created would be at a frequency practically undetectable to humans.
