Specifications
The project consists of eight Clipper Windpower 2.5-MW Liberty series wind turbines. According to a press release from the manufacturer,
- The Project's Liberty 2.5 MW wind turbines are designed to mitigate loads to components found in many of today's multi-megawatt wind turbine designs through Clipper's patented Quantum Distributed Generation Drivetrain ("DGEN-Q") and the use of four unique permanent magnet generators. Proprietary variable speed technology also enables operation in a simpler, more efficient manner than standard wind turbine technologies. Grid integration is achieved through power factor regulation technology with ride-through capability which exceeds current and planned standards for electric grid operation; a 2-ton on-board crane simplifies maintenance to significantly reduce service-related costs. The 2.5 MW Liberty turbine installation can be accomplished with a crane sized for standard commercial 1.5 MW units.
