Read original articleThe Nordex Group, a German original equipment manufacturer, has launched the N175/6.X wind turbine in Canada, designed specifically to operate efficiently in extreme cold conditions down to -30°C (-22°F). Featuring the Nordex Advanced Anti-Icing System, the turbine prevents ice build-up on rotor blades, significantly reducing downtime and ensuring consistent performance in harsh climates. Built on the proven Delta4000 modular platform, which has sold over 40 GW globally, the N175/6.X boasts a 175-meter rotor and up to 7 MW rated output, optimized for low to medium wind conditions typical of many Canadian sites.
This new turbine achieves 7 to 14 percent higher energy yields compared to its predecessors, particularly excelling during lighter wind speeds with up to 22 percent more energy production. It offers flexible site-dependent power modes to adapt to sound, load, and power requirements, and can be equipped with additional features such as a bat module and on-demand night-time marking.
