Your link [2] says it can be used onshore :-) It is an insanely awesomely large machine too. 66,000 volts! Wow, just wow.

- philipkglass 7y agoHa, you're right. But I have never heard of an onshore wind farm built using these -- only offshore projects.
- jacquesm 7y agoIn NL we have a whole bunch of those large Enercon units near the village of Urk. Well worth a stop if you're ever on A6, it is an amazing sight especially up close.
- ChuckMcM 7y agoAdded to my list of places to stop next time I'm on the continent, thanks!

- generatorguy 7y agothe generator in the wind turbine is not generating at 66 kV. There is a transformer in the base of the turbine to step the voltage up to 66 kV. A 10 MW generator is typically at 6.9 kV, although could be up to 13.8 kV.
