GE has selected RCG for the commissioning and power generation tests for the wind turbine converter.

Located in the North Sea, approximately 45 km northern Borkum Island- Germany, Merkur Offshore is equipped with 66 wind energy converters of GE’s offshore wind turbine “Haliade 150”. Each turbine has a nominal power of 6 MW each.

Our commissioning engineers have completed the Global Wind Organization (GWO) training and are certified to work on both onshore and offshore wind farms. They will mainly work on the converter and generator of the wind turbine.

The hub height of a single turbine is more than 100 m above water level and the innovative gearless 6 MW machine is equipped with one of the largest rotors in the wind industry. It is expected to power more than 500 000 homes.
