Chennai, July 21:
Wind turbine manufacturer,
Suzlon, is in the ?last patch of paper work? before launching its latest turbine ? the S-111. Its competitor, Gamesa, has just begun selling its own latest wind turbine ? the G-114 ? and says it will begin serial production later this year. ?The supply chain is being established,? it says.
Both companies have said their products would give 20 per cent higher generation over their earlier generation products, at the same wind sites.

S-111 will be offered at two tower heights, 95 metres, but on the anvil is another version of it that will stand 120 metres tall. The 120-metre version will generate 29 per cent more electricity than the S-97 turbine, at 90-metre configuration.
Suzlon has not sold a S-111 as yet, but Duncan Koerbel, Suzlon group?s Chief Technology Officer, says the company has received some orders.
...
India has installed wind power capacity of 23,590 MW today, and the Government?s target is to reach 60,000 MW by 2022.
