ECOTÈCNIA 100 – Main features
The ECOTÈCNIA 100 from ALSTOM, a new range of large, high power turbines for onshore use, setting a new standard for Clean Power.
It’s the result of 3 years of research and development, applying the most advanced and innovative features in wind turbine technology.
The ECOTÈCNIA 100 offers 3.0 MW of power, 100 m of rotor diameter and is designed for class II-A sites.
The modular build concept allows the optimisation of component features, with gearbox stress reduction a high priority.

The control system is based on a platform developed by Ecotècnia: GALILEO.It is a decentralized system that implements the regulatory characteristicsalready used for previous platforms but provides major additionaladvantages.
Ecotècnia developed its own SCADA (Supervisory Control And DataAcquisition) system, based on more than 25 years of turbines maintenance.This tool provides remote acces to the wind turbine data: generated power,rotor rpm, electrical data, main components temperature, wind conditionsand wind turbine status, among others, are displayed in real time and savedas data-files.
