The more affordable total cost of energy (COE), easy installation, high reliability and low maintenance make the Nordic N1000 the right choice for small wind farm deployment.
Wind farmers can sleep well at night based on the proven N1000 technology with more than 13 years (140,000 hours) of operation, including trouble-free drive train performance.
Site construction and installation is safer, faster, and more cost effective. Advantages over larger, three-blade turbines include:
 |
Lighter and less costly to transport |
|
Only 4 major components to ship, versus 7 for three blade alternatives |
|
Smaller, more commercially available crane |
|
Installation accomplished with 3 crane picks versus 5-7 for three blade alternatives |
|
Smaller foundation |
|
Smaller crane pads |
|
Narrower access roads |
|
Ground assembly of nacelle and blades |
Service and maintenance is simple and easy, based on the following benefits:
|
Two year equipment warranty |
|
Availability Guarantees, measured by the wind turbine controller |
|
Multi-year service agreement |
|
Affordable, customer-oriented service care options |
|
Optional SCADA packages for various monitoring and control needs |
|
Customized O&M training |
|
Reduced component complexity |
|
Roomy nacelle interior (0.8-meter wide passage around the machinery) |
