Siemens Gamesa Launched the New Wind Turbine Model SG 4.7-155 to Maximize Areas with Low Winds and Boost Wind Energy in These Regions

Siemens Gamesa has added a new wind turbine to its 4.X platform, the SG 4.7-155, which combines the company’s experience and track record in the 4 MW wind energy segment with a 155-meter rotor to significantly increase wind energy production at low wind sites.

Wind Turbine with Cutting-Edge Technology to Generate Wind Energy

The SG 4.7-155 wind turbine model is rated at 4.7 MW and is equipped with OptimaFlex technology, allowing it to operate between 4 MW and 5 MW depending on site conditions. Additionally, this wind energy platform will be enhanced with one of the two rotors developed for the 5X platform, the most powerful by Siemens Gamesa in the onshore segment, representing a significant advancement in the company’s strategy to leverage the best technology in wind turbines across all its platforms.

This approach by Siemens, which was also implemented with the launch of the SG 3.4-145 in July, optimizes investment and shortens the development cycle, improving the time to market for new products.

Areas with Low Winds Will Benefit from Wind Energy with Siemens’ Wind Turbine

The development of Siemens turbines specifically designed for low wind areas represents an important boost for onshore wind energy development in mature markets where sites with substantial wind resources are limited. By increasing rotor size, turbines generate more clean energy even with lower winds.

“With this new model, we will be much more competitive in the low-wind segment. In addition, it perfectly complements our SG 5.8-170 turbine to offer our customers the best option to meet the needs of each project. By combining the latest onshore innovations with the best energy cost, we can provide the best solutions for the energy transition,” commented Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, CEO Onshore of Siemens Gamesa.

The model will use a 76-meter blade made of fiberglass reinforced with pultruded carbon, integrating innovative aerodynamics to ensure the best balance between high energy production and reduced noise emission levels.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Vietnam opens its market to Brazilian beef calves and grants access to a destination that has already imported over US$ 3.5 billion from the national agribusiness, expanding exports, reducing waste, and boosting slaughterhouses across the country.

Brazil consolidates itself as one of the signatory countries of the Artemis program and strengthens its partnership with NASA in projects related to food production, lunar research, and space technology, focusing on the upcoming crewed missions to the Moon.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

National Geographic strikes the hammer: yes, Africa is slowly splitting apart, a new ocean may form, and science considers this one of the most important geological phenomena of our time.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.
