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.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The major construction of the new corn ethanol industry in Brazil is advancing quickly, reaching 45% of the schedule, entering the mechanical assembly phase, and mobilizing more than 70 companies with up to 2,000 temporary jobs expected.

In just 34 days, a giant tablet-operated printer erected the largest 3D-printed apartment building in Europe, three months faster than the traditional method and using half the workers on the construction site.

A silent boat powered solely by solar energy sits in the middle of the planet’s most polluted rivers, swallowing up to 50 tons of trash per day, and it does this alone, without fuel and without stopping, before the plastic reaches the ocean.

A 220-meter giant powered in part by solar energy and lithium batteries has just unloaded nearly 5,000 Chinese cars at the Port of Itajaí. It is the first of ten Grimaldi super ships and the first in the world prepared to run on ammonia as fuel.
