Objetivo 1. Design, install, test and demonstrate a 1.5 Mw wind turbine strongly modified to high wind speed conditions on a selected site in the Tarifa area in the Southern Spain.2. Verify project economics compared to smaller (600 Kw) wind turbines3. Install the first 1.5 Mw wind turbine in Spain, which is necessary to demonstrate technical abilities and reliability before investing in larger wind farms.4. Measure structural loads on the WTG5. Measure and analyse wind conditions on the site6. Measure the power quality in relation to the connected grid.The innovation part of the project must be seen in relation to the prospected results of the project : to install test and operate MW size wind turbines in high wind areas, to lower the future production cost level of wind generated electricity. Innovative elements can be listed as adoption of a new rotor diameter (design & production), correlated change in rotor speed, change in gearbox, tower height because change in own-frequency level, new design parameters for the whole WTG structure. The project consists of : wind monitoring of the site, design of modified 1.5 Mw wind turbine, manufacture, assembly, commissioning and monitoring of loads beard by the new designed WTG.
