Suzlon - Model S66 -Wind Turbines
The S66 is part of Suzlon’s classic fleet of wind turbines. Production began in 2002 and the S66 was eventually phased out in 2016. During that period a total of 3673.75 MW capacity was installed globally (counting S66, S64 and similar turbines). Suzlon designed the S66 with a dual-rating asynchronous generator and a pitch system that makes the turbine capable of delivering an optimum energy yield within a wide wind range with proportionally low loads. Nordic Wind Technology offers two certified retrofit solutions for Suzlon S66 turbines: a MITA solution and a Bachmann solution.
Older Suzlon S66 turbines were installed with MITA WP3000 hardware and LUST LTi DriveStat (UDS 035 Analog). For these models we offer a retrofit solution consisting of a software update and a new MITA controller WP4000.
Newer S66 turbines contain Bachmann hardware and LUST LTi DriveStat (UDS 035 CAN) or LUST LTi PITCHmaster (CDE 54.XXX). Our Bachmann solution is a software-only solution. We replace the Compact Flash card in the Bachmann Controller with a new one without interfering with the exisiting hardware.
First of all retrofitting your S66 turbine will make you 100% percent independent from Suzlon – something many turbine owners/operators dream of. By updating your turbine, you gain full access to the turbine data and parameter settings and the freedom to choose your own service provider. Other benefits include:
- 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
