Technology is the key enabler to allow a company to compete successfully in the long run and be the market leader. Suzlon’s sophisticated R&D capabilities in the wind energy space have led to the development of a comprehensive product portfolio, ranging from 600 kW to 2.1 MW wind turbines.
The 500-strong Technology Group, led from its R&D Headquarters in Hamburg, derives its technological success from a close collaboration between the development teams in Germany, Netherlands, Denmark and India. | |

| Composite wind turbine technology in Germany and Denmark | Germany and Denmark are together without doubt the headquarters of pioneering engineering knowledge and application for wind technology. Active co-operation of wind energy experts, newest scientific innovations, high-end technology usage and highly qualified human resources for selection of materials and production processes make them the ‘destination of choice’ for Suzlon’s R&D endeavors and accomplishments.
For example Suzlon has an R&D centre in Rostock with over 1oo emplyees that develops all key systems incorporated in the wind turbine nacelle, hub and tower covering electrical and mechnical systems. The controls and SCADA systems are developed in a cross-border team of Danes, Germans and Indians. | |

| Aerodynamic development in the Netherlands, Denmark and India | | Well-developed fundamental and applied research on aerodynamics, fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) and wind turbine blade structures with support from universities, consultants, research & certifying agencies direct Suzlon’s R&D in Netherlands towards creating reliable products that achieve economically optimised power performance. Additionally Suzlon opened a new cutting-edge blade test facility in Baroda in 2008 that is capable of fully validating multiple blades up to 65m length to standards that far surpass prior practice and are probably now the most stringent in the industry. | |
