Suzlon S64 (S62 – S70)
General information about Suzlon S64 wind turbines
Suzlon began manufacturing their S6X series wind turbines in 2002 and eventually phased out production in 2016. A cumulative capacity of 3673.75 MW is installed worldwide counting S64 and similar turbines like the S62 and S70.
S64 turbines are built to deliver an optimum output in locations with low to medium wind speed regimes. The turbines are equipped with a dual-rating asynchronous generator which – in conjunction with the pitch system – makes excellent energy yields with proportionately low loads possible.
Nordic Wind Technology MITA retrofit solution for S64
Older S64 models feature MITA WP3000 hardware and LUST LTi DriveStat (UDS 035 Analog). Our certified retrofit solution for these models consist of a new MITA controller WP4000 and software update.
Nordic Wind Technology Bachmann retrofit solution for S64
Newer S64 turbines contain Bachmann hardware and LUST LTi DriveStat (UDS 035 CAN) or LUST LTi PITCHmaster (CDE 54.XXX). Our retrofit solution for these models is a software-only solution.
We simply replace the Compact Flash card in the Bachmann Controller without touching or interfering with the existing hardware.

Advantages of retrofit on Suzlon S64 turbines
Retrofitting older wind turbines has become increasingly popular in recent years. This comes as no surprise when you look at the long list of advantages gained by updating your S64 turbines:
- Upgraded data access and improved service tools to lower O&M costs
- Access to spare part supply chain, spare parts available directly from the manufacturers
- Pitch module (MOOG)
- Soft starter (IXYS)
- Grid module (WOODWARD)
- Suzlon Flexi Slip module (Bachmann)
- Optimized availability and energy production with control of mechanical loads
- Flexibility to add own extensions, including sensors or CMS system
- Enhanced remote turbine monitoring and control
- Power curtailment and reactive power control, enabling previously unattainable incentives by complying with modern grid codes
- Fast installation time, only 1-2 hours downtime for installation
