44 MW wind farm planned in Croatia

Zadar VI extension onshore wind power plant to be installed by Siemens

In Croatia’s Lika region the Zadar VI extension onshore wind power plant will be installed. Siemens will provide the wind turbines and rotors for the wind power plant
The wind farm has a total capacity of 44,2 MW and is expected to be commissioned in summer 2017.The contract between Siemens and the Croatian investor comprises delivery, installation and long-term service up to 2031.
Each of the 13 wind turbines has a capacity of 3,4 MW, a rotor diameter of 108 meter and will be installed on a 79,5 meter steel tower.
The power plant is designed for an optimized yield at moderate to high wind speeds in the Lika region, that is exposed to northwest winds coming across the mountains.
In addition the turbines are equipped with Simens NetConcerter system regulating the turbine’s flexible response to voltage and frequency control.
Already in 2011, Siemens delivered wind turbines for two wind projects near Zadar, with a total capacity of 36,8 MW.
