Country's tallest hybrid concrete tubular wind Turbine Generator commissioned by Suzlon

Renewable energy major Suzlon Wednesday said it has commissioned the first prototype of what it claimed was the country's tallest hybrid concrete tubular wind Turbine Generator . The 140 metre tall tower in Tirunelveli  district is a combination of concrete base and foundation , supporting a tubular steel tower and avoids exponential increase in weight and costs of steel tubular towers.

The HCT tower is a perfect fit in the new competitive bidding regime , where large scale utility projects of 200 -500 MW are being commissioned in the industry .The S120 rotor incorporates fourth generation rotor aerodynamics and enhanced pitch control systems to reduce overall loads.The Indian wind energy market is evolving due to the transition to competitive bidding .

Suzlon has made over 11.9 GW of the group's installation of wind power in the country. They also continue to invest in Research and Development with an aim to develop innovative products that reduce the cost of energy.
