A new era of 11MW offshore wind turbines has begun with the recent shipment of the first series-produced SG11.0-200DD nacelle from Siemens Gamesa’s Cuxhaven, Germany factory.This milestone marks a significant step forward in the global offshore wind industry.
The nacelle will be paired with 97-meter B97 blades and a tower to form the complete SG11.0-200DD direct drive wind turbine. This unit is destined for the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm in the Netherlands, developed by Vattenfall.
The SG11.0-200DD model represents an upgrade based on Siemens Gamesa’s “digital twin” technology.** It utilizes an intelligent control system to optimize yaw and pitch adjustments, leading to enhanced overall operational efficiency. Morten Pilgaard Rasmussen, Head of Offshore Technology at Siemens Gamesa, states that this control system enables the turbine to “reach its full potential.”
Siemens Gamesa’s Cuxhaven facility, operational since 2017, has produced hundreds of 7MW and 8MW offshore wind turbine nacelles between 2018 and 2021.
The Hollandse Kust Zuid project, with a total installed capacity of 1.5GW, will be the world’s first subsidy-free offshore wind farm and will feature 140 of these 11MW turbines.
Beyond Hollandse Kust Zuid, the SG11.0-200DD has already secured orders for several other projects, including：
