Nordex N163/6.X Wind Turbine
Nordex N163/6.X Wind Turbine
Entering the 6MW+ class. Maximized power. Extended lifetime.
The Nordex N163/6.X was developed based on the N149/4.0-4.5 launched in 2017. This was the first turbine worldwide that introduced flexible rating as part of its core design philosophy and operation strategy.
As all turbines of the Delta4000 series, the N163/6.X covers a wide range of power modes, providing the flexibility to optimize a project-specific AEP investment criteria as well as rating and sound requirements. The N163/6.X comes with a design lifetime of 25 years, which can be extended to up to 35 years. The turbine’s high flexibility offers opportunities to optimise the revenues in line with PPA structures and merchant price profiles.
