TURBINE RETROFIT
SUZLON S88
BENEFITS OF RETROFIT ON SUZLON S88
Updating your S88 not only puts control of your turbine back into your hands; it also offers many other benefits, such as:
- 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
The S88 retrofit is one route into a wider shift toward OEM-independent operation across your portfolio.
GENERAL INFORMATION
TURBINE MODEL
Suzlon S88
YEAR OF MANUFACTURE
2004 – 2015
FURTHER INFORMATION
The first turbines in the S8X series from Suzlon were manufactured in 2004 and eventually phased out in 2015. A total capacity of 5712 MW was installed worldwide during this period.
S88 turbines have an asynchronous generator using an SFS (Suzlon Flexi Slip) system, which enables the generator to run with a high slip, operating within a limited speed range. The generator and the pitch system work together to achieve an optimized energy performance within a wide wind range with low loads.
The S88 turbines are especially suited for medium wind speeds and feature a robust design, enabling them to withstand extreme weather conditions.
BACHMANN SOLUTION
S8X-2.1 MW turbines are installed with Bachmann hardware and LUST LTi PITCHmaster (CDE 54.XXX). The retrofit solution from Nordic Wind Technology updates the original Bachmann hardware platform with new software.
