Acciona Windpower's 3 MW turbine, which features a 116-meter rotor diameter, is now available for International Electrotechnical Commission Class IIa wind sites.
The wind class upgrade on the AW3000/116 turbine allows it to perform well at almost any site, according to the company. Multiple standard-tower-height options are offered in steel and concrete, including a 120-meter concrete tower.
Acciona was recently awarded $3 million by the Iowa Power Fund to install two AW3000 turbines in Cedar County, Iowa, for commercialization purposes.
