Classic Fleet of Turbines
S97
The Suzlon S97-2.1 MW series is an award-winning wind turbine generator range which was specially designed to make low wind speed sites profitable.
It was available in two variants:
-
S97-90m - All steel tubular tower that reaches a height of 90m
- S97-120m - All steel tower that combines the lattice and tubular structure with a unique transition piece that reaches a height of 120m.
This innovative design of S97-120m won the prestigious Golden Peacock award 2016 in the ‘eco-innovation’ category.View the story behind the award
The S97 series has been phased-out since 2018. During the three years of its successful installations, more than 1359 turbines of S97 were installed with a cumulative capacity of more than 2,853 MW.
Why was S97 the preferred choice?
- An award-winning innovation by Suzlon
- Increased height and stability
- Reduced cost, simpler logistics and ease of construction
- Design that enables higher generation
- Made low wind sites that were previously unusable, viable
S88
The S88-2.1 MW was designed for a medium wind speed regime. Inducted into the Suzlon fleet in 2004, the S88-2.1 MW was designed to withstand extreme conditions and operate effectively with low maintenance costs. The S88 was phased out in 2015 after 11 years of successful operations, during which time a total of 2720 turbines were installed with a combined generation capacity of 5712 MW. This product was one of the best and most successful products of Suzlon.
S82
The S82-1.5MW was designed for generating optimal power output even at sites with a modest wind speed regime. Inducted in 2006, the S82-1.5 MW is equipped with an asynchronous generator with high slip; it can operate within a limited speed range. In conjunction with the pitch system, it is possible to achieve an optimal energy yield within a wide wind range, with comparably low loads. Till its phase-out in 2015, there were 2023 turbines installed with a combined generation capacity of 3034.5 MW.
S66
The S66-1.25 MW was designed for generating the optimal power output even at sites with a modest wind speed regime.
S66-1.25 MW is equipped with a dual-speed, dual-rating asynchronous generator; it can operate within a limited speed range. In conjunction with the pitch system, it is possible to achieve an optimal energy yield within a wide wind range, with comparably low loads. Between 2002 and its eventual phase-out in 2016, 2939 turbines of the S62 along with similar turbines like the S64 and S70 were installed cumulatively generating 3675 MW of energy.
S52
The S-52 600 KW is similar to the S–66 1.25, but with lower energy generation capacities. Between 2006 and 2014, 762 turbines with a total installed capacity of 457.20 MW were installed.
