3 MW onshore wind turbine platform

Enhanced controls technology for the 3 MW wind platform

The 3 MW turbine platform features enhanced controls:
 

• GE Vernova’s patented Advanced Loads Control reduces turbine component load by measuring stresses and individually adjusting blade pitch.

• Controls were developed by GE Vernova Global Research to reduce extreme loads, including those near rated wind speeds, to improve annual energy production (AEP).

Condition Monitoring System (CMS)

GE Vernova’s CMS and SCADA Anomaly Detection Services, compatible with our 3MW wind turbines, include a complementary suite of advanced condition monitoring solutions. These systems can proactively detect impending drive train and whole-turbine issues, enabling increased availability and decreased maintenance expenses, lowering the 3 MW wind turbine’s cost of operation. Built upon half a century of power generation drivetrain and data anomaly monitoring experience, this service solution is now standard on GE Vernova’s 3 MW turbine platform.

App Suite and GE VERNOVA’s Edge Platform for GE VERNOVA 3 MW wind turbines

GE Vernova’s software applications generate smooth, predictable power, thanks to big data and the Industrial Internet. Our apps pair with our wind turbines, including the 3 MW, to enhance energy production and improve wind farm predictability.
