Editorial
Dear Readers, In its coalition contract the new German government assumes that by 2020 renewable energy will make up 30 % of the total volume of energy produced. The German Federal Association of Renewable Energy [Bundesverband Erneuerbare Energie e.V. (BEE)] in contrast estimates that this share will be 47 %. According to a statement made by BEE managing director Björn Klusmann, estimates on the speed of developments in the wind energy sector in particular are far too conservative. The BEE’s forecast for electricity supply in 2020 assumes that wind energy on land – 45 000 MW installed output – and in the North and Baltic Seas – 10 000 MW installed output – will together provide one quarter of Germany’s electricity consumption. Fluctuating wind energy means that this share cannot, however, be increased infinitely, making a mix of controllable bio energy also necessary in future. The mix depends on ecological and economic conditions. Because, however, assumptions concerning evaluations and facts in this regard could be wrong, conventional cost-benefit analyses are generally a failure. Clear political guidelines are thus of crucial importance as a precondition for the long-term planning security of wind turbine manufacturers and operators. The political quarrels lasting for months in the planned “Energy State of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania” demonstrate just how difficult that can be. Despite the financial crisis 2009 was a successful year for e.n.o. energy, particularly since the company celebrated its 10th anniversary. The construction department has the most news to report: the further development of the e.n.o. 82 and the new development of the e.n.o. 92 (P. 4). In addition to this, our company’s advertising look has been completely overhauled. The e.n.o. mag, for example, has been given a new, more attractive layout. The red stripe, symbol of the corporate colour, will in future appear in all media.

New generation of wind turbines at e.n.o. energy The further development of the e.n.o. 82 and the new development of the e.n.o. 92
Borne out by the success of the e.n.o. 82 - 2.0 MW and spurred on by the increased demands of the market, development work on a new turbine generation commenced at e.n.o. energy almost one year ago. The e.n.o. 92 with 2.2 MW is a new construction development; the e.n.o. 82 with 2.2 MW is a further development. Å
Head of Construction Stefan Bockholt
New development of the e.n.o. 92 - 2.2 MW The key goal leading to development of the e.n.o. 92 was to increase energy output in comparison to the existing e.n.o. 82 - 2.0 by enlarging the swept rotor area. The corresponding aim was for the new development to build on the successful engineering construction concept of the e.n.o. 82 in order, for e.g., to generate purchasing and service synergy effects thanks to identical components. Another important side effect of this identical component strategy, which is not to be underestimated, is also that allows e.n.o. energy to build on its operating experience with, and the track records of, the individual components used in the e.n.o. 82 - 2.0 serial production turbine. In the case of new components, and in accordance with the extremely successful components strategy used for the e.n.o. 82 - 2.0, care was taken that, where possible, components made by top European manufacturers were used. Based on suitable rotor blades from Danish company LM Glasfiber a diameter of 92.8 m was specified for the turbine’s main rotor. This resulted in a swept rotor area some 21 % larger than that of the e.n.o. 82 - 2.0. The choice of rotor blades and the present specification of Certification Class IEC IIIa were followed by calculation of the tentative loads using a conceptual turbine model. Optimum exploitation of the rotor blades’ potential was achieved thanks to
iterative fine tuning of the control system concept. The result: an attainable electrical rated power of 2 200 kW at a rotor speed of 14.8 min-1. The rating of the e.n.o. 92 – 2.0 thus amounts to approx. 325 W/m2; a sign of an efficiently utilized, universally employable turbine. To satisfy the demands of wind park planners for low noise levels the turbine was designed for a relatively low rotor speed of 14.8 min-1. This resulted, on the one hand, in noise levels under 104.8 dBA; on the other hand, however, to a relatively high gearbox input torque. For that was the differential gearbox GPV 505D developed in collaboration with Bosch Rexroth. In addition to the improved load bearing capacity of the gear teeth the Bosch Rexroth 5 Series differential gear-

box used also offers significant size and weight advantages over comparable gear boxes in this performance class. A mere 20 percent increase in weight in comparison to the e.n.o. 82 – 2.0’s gearbox resulted in a 40 % higher torque ratio. A steel tubular tower for a hub height of 103 m was developed as a standard tower option. The e.n.o. 92 is thus approaching an overall height of 150 m, making it suitable for numerous german and international locations. The tower design fulfils the specifications of Wind Class IEC IIIa and/or Wind Zone II as specified by the German Institute for Construction Technology [Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik]. Other tower options for hub heights of 123 m and more are currently in development.

In contrast to the existing e.n.o. 82 with its double-fed induction, asynchronous motor a brushless, separately excited synchronous motor located on the full power converter has been used for the e.n.o. 92. For the e.n.o. 92 was developed a completely new proprietary control system, in this were integrated special algorithms, e.g. for derating, increasing output or network control. Thanks to this strategic decision - for a full power converter and a new proprietary control system - an uncompromising electrical system in terms of output and network interconnection has been implemented for the e.n.o. 92, which, moreover, leaves all avenues open for further development.
kW. For reasons of cost as well as of required input a fundamental change in the construction engineering design of the e.n.o. 82 – 2.0 was out of the question. Feasible improvements were thus to a large extent limited to the electrical system. Taking into consideration network interconnection conditions, which are becoming ever more demanding, the change to a full power converter concept also proved to make sense for the e.n.o. 82. During development work for the e.n.o. 92 care was thus also taken that the generator converter system was also suitable for the e.n.o. 82 – 2.2. This as concept study intended wind turbine will be erected together with the prototype of the e.n.o. 92 at the beginning of the next year.
Further development of the e.n.o. 82
e.n.o. 92 - 2.2 and e.n.o. 82 - 2.2 prototypes
In the course of the new developments for the e.n.o. 92 concepts were developed which can also be used for the e.n.o. 82 with a rated power of 2 200
The prototype for the e.n.o. 82 - 2.2 will be erected in February 2010. The prototype for the e.n.o. 92 - 2.2. will follow in March. The site for both wind turbines
is approx. 30 km east of Rostock. This close proximity to the e.n.o. energy development department will make testing and future development work immeasurably easier. The good wind conditions at the joint site mean that rapid progress of the service trials can be expected. In addition to their functionality the turbines will also have to prove themselves in terms of performance, noise levels and network quality. The monitoring phase will be carried out in partnership with Bargeshagenbased company Wind Consult. From 2010 e.n.o. energy will have two new types of wind turbines. Firstly, the newly developed e.n.o. 92 - 2.2 and, secondly, the e.n.o. 82 - 2.2 as a new option of the currently very successful e.n.o. 82 - 2.0. Clients will in future thus have the option of selecting a product which is perfect for them from a wider range of products. Stefan Bockholt

e.n.o. energy now also represented in Turkey Office opening and RENEX exhibition in Istanbul The wind energy market in Turkey is booming. As a result e.n.o. energy opened an office in Istanbul on 30 October, just in time for the premiere of the RENEX exhibition.
According to information provided by the Turkish Ministry of Energy the country has potential, technically serviceable wind energy amounting to at least 48 000 MW at its disposal. The coastal regions in particular are well suited for such use. In 2004 installed wind energy capacity was a mere 18 MW. In the period to 2009 a further 495 MW has been added to this. This total amount (513 MW), representing 1.17 % of total energy produced, is, however, miniscule in comparison to the overall sum of all energy producing installations (43 500 MW). The Turkish Energy Market Regulatory Authority (in Turkish: EPDK) has assigned all the licences available for wind turbines facilities and is currently reviewing the possibility of issuing additional licences. In all, applications for a total of 78 000 MW have been submitted, of which approval for the construction of facilities producing some 8 000 MW should receive approval in 2010. Plans foresee 12 000 MW being in place in 2015 and installation of 20 000 MW by 2020. Individual capacity forecasts vary widely. The smallest proposed wind

park has an output of 1.5 MW; the largest should produce 3 000 MW. The input of electricity into the public grid is regulated by the Law on Utilization of Renewable Energy Sources, which came into force on 18.05.2005. The feedin tariff is currently 5.5 euro cents. The Turkish government is, however, planning to amend the renewable energy sources law to include guaranteed additional incentives for the production of electricity using wind energy. It is expected that the feed-in tariff will be increased to 7-8 euro cents. The new law should serve to persuade more foreign and domestic manufacturers and investors to participate in wind energy production. Insufficient grid capacity in some regions represents a technical problem. Additional investment will be required in order to be able to absorb the peak loads generated by wind turbine facilities. Thanks to its presence at the ICCI exhibition in spring e.n.o. energy was able to establish its first contacts on the Turkish market (see e.n.o. mag 2-2009). Following concrete negotiations the company’s management decided to open an office in Istanbul.

This plan was implemented in conjunction with the RENEX exhibition, where e.n.o. energy also had a stand. The RENEX premiere was surprisingly successful. 17 000 trade visitors came to the Convention Center to obtain information on innovative technologies for the generation of renewable energies. Visitors were international and received advice from a total of 300 exhibitors. The significance of the RENEX is, without a doubt, great – as illustrated by the speech given by the Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister, Taner Yildiz, at the exhibition’s official opening: “If we don’t open up the way for clean energy our measures to combat climate change will be insufficient.” He also emphasised that “the renewable energy sources law and the energy productivity law are the clear expression of our decision. It is now time to implement them.” The e.n.o. energy stand was well attended. In cooperation with our Turkish partners Ferit Kalfaoglu and Zafer Hamamizade visitors were given comprehensive information on wind turbines ‘made in Germany’. Immediately following the exhibition the telephones in our branch office in Besiktas Istanbul rang off their hooks. The vast majority of the calls were in connection with in-depth questions regarding e.n.o. 82 and e.n.o. 92 wind turbines. Increased marketing of our wind turbines in the Eurasian country is now planned via the Turkish office. A service team for technical operational management and servicing on site is planned at a later date. BK

Rotor solutions that reduce the cost of energy LM Glasfiber - Expert for rotor blade manufacturing Blades are a key component in wind turbines – their design is crucial to the efficient exploitation of energy from the wind. With specialist know-how and more than 30 years of experience, LM Glasfiber develops new technology that makes wind turbines more efficient and extends the service life of both the turbines and the blades.
LM Glasfiber produced its first blade in 1978. The company, that was founded in Denmark, is the largest independent supplier of advanced rotor solutions and was one of the pioneers of the wind industry together with for example Vestas and Bonus (today known as Siemens). The first blade was around 8 meters long. Today, the longest blade in LM Glasfiber’s product portfolio – and in the world - is 61.5 meters, a powerful illustration of the technological development that continues to characterize the industry. LM Glasfiber handles all aspects related to blades from design and mould design to production, testing and service throughout the blade’s 20 years of operation, from research centers,

Focus on the customer LM Glasfiber has one goal that is shared with the customers: to maintain the competitiveness of wind energy by making sure to continuously improve the annual energy production from the turbines. In this regard, the blades play a crucial role and LM Glasfiber’s global team of specialists and highly skilled engineers consistently achieve improvements in blade performance. The blades are often developed in close cooperation with
By end 2008, LM Glasfiber had produced and sold more than 120 000 blades since the initial start-up of blade manufacturing in 1978. This corresponds to a capacity of 37 GW, which every year contributes to saving the world 70 mio. tonnes CO2. LM Glasfiber currently has production in Denmark, Poland, Spain, the US, Canada, India and China. More information at: www.lmglasfiber.com

The e.n.o. energy wind energy participation certificate Investment products with a double rate of return Renewably focused investment products allow investors to profit from a good rate of return as well as use their money for an ecological investment
The idea is as simple as it is convincing: Anyone putting their money into regenerative energies is not only doing something for their own bank account but also for the climate. Sustainability pays off in the long term – or so an increasing number of people think, and not just since the most recent financial and economic crisis. With the public issue of its new wind energy participation certificate e.n.o. energy has positioned itself as a real alternative to investments in traditional fields. By investing in wind energy turbines investors boost the growth of renewable energies and ensure that today’s energy mix of different kinds of energy will in future be slanted towards renew-

able energies. This will make it possible to guarantee a clean energy supply independent of raw materials in the long term. It is not, however, just the environmental angle which speaks for the new eco-system “made in Germany”. Additional factors are security and a market based on solid growth. With a possible rate of return of up to 10 percent the e.n.o. energy participation certificate is a clear winner over conventional fixed term deposits. Parallel to this, a booming market and state-guaranteed tariffs for feeding wind-generated electricity into the grid make for a high degree of security. The market’s potential depends on the
industry’s numerous, diverse specialists: financial service providers, technology corporations, consulting companies, wind park operators. Particularly interesting in this regard are companies with a broad base, such as e.n.o. energy. The Rerik-based company covers the entire value creation chain – from project planning of wind parks to owneroperated wind parks and the sale of turnkey wind parks through to the manufacturing of wind energy turbines. Investors subscribing for the new e.n.o. energy participation certificate will be financing the erection of major new wind parks in Germany and European growth regions France, Italy, Sweden and Turkey. When it comes to the

A company which is always close to the wind From ship building supplier to partner of the wind energy industry KGW Schweriner Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH (KGW) was founded in 1948. Following a number of ups and downs in the company’s 61 year long history incorporation into the Wilms Group in 2006 ushered in a continuous upward trend. The long-established company has developed from a shipbuilding supplier into a manufacturer of tower sections for wind turbines. In 2008 190 employees generated a turnover of 35 mio EURO.
Originally set up to manufacture maritime products for the shipbuilding industry, such as cranes, winches and steering gear of all sizes, following the collapse of the Eastern European market in 1990 the company had to radically rethink its strategy. Within the scope of an in-depth market analysis and correct assessment of the company’s technological and manpower strengths initial contacts to wind turbine manufacturers were established in 1992. The existing company structure seemed well-nigh predestined for the building of steel tubular towers, since the crane pillars and towers previously manufactured for the shipbuilding industry were similarly
Ç

structured in terms of the technology involved. Following the required new investment and creation of the space needed, KGW manufactured its first tower in 1993, followed by an order for 9 towers in the same year. In subsequent years the volume of orders increased continuously; some 200 towers were manufactured in 2008. After overcoming the current, complex international economic conditions the opening of a new, second manufacturing section (Works II) will make it possible to produce 1200 tower sections annually. The sheets processed during manufacturing have thicknesses ranging up to

85 mm; sheet widths are up to 3 000 mm. In addition to the production of towers KGW also has an excellent manufacturing reputation with its customers in the maritime and special engineering products industries in particular. As a matter of course the company’s quality management system has been certified by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance in accordance with DIN ISO 9001 since March 1992. Since embarking on its partnership with wind turbine manufacturers KGW has developed close relationships with almost all German players, as well as with Danish and Spanish companies. e.n.o. energy has been a long-standing customer since its entry into the market in 2006. In the early years KGW produced both the foundations and the towers for the prototype and the pilot series of the e.n.o. 82 – 2.0 MW for the company, which is also based in North-Eastern Germany. In the coming years the relationship with e.n.o. energy will doubtless become closer, allowing both companies to jointly maintain and develop their position in the growing wind energy market.

Both companies can today look back on a dependable, trusting partnership.
Numerous e.n.o. energy wind energy projects are based on designs from HCE. HCE provided, for example, the technical work for the foundation designs for the Rosenthal, Drehnow, Kauxdorf/Bönitz, Wormlage, Silmersdorf, Groß Treben, Zölkow and Fienstorf projects. Today, in addition to site investigations and foundation recommendations HCE still also develops the foundation designs and, as required, deep foundation designs for e.n.o. energy projects, always taking commercial aspects into consideration. e.n.o. energy will also be relying on HCE’s competence in the future. Current examples of this are the collaboration of the two companies on the development work for the e.n.o. 82 and e.n.o. 92 wind turbines and the project planning for the prototype sites. e.n.o. energy’s engineers have worked hand in hand with the HCE Energy on both projects.

e.n.o. energy’s success story is reminiscent of HCE’s development. The initial four man engineering office has become the HCE Design Group with a total of some 25 employees. The engineering group includes Ingenieurbüro HartwigConsulting-Engineers; HCE Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH, set up in 2004; HCE Project Development & Design GmbH as well as other subsidiaries. The global wind energy industry now swears by the HCE design. Whether it be China, Vietnam, the USA, Sweden, the UK, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Belgium or other parts of the world, wind energy plant manufacturers, project engineers and investors entrust their turn-key and/or development projects to HCE. The range of services offered by the HCE Design Group in the field of wind energy includes the development of foundation and tower designs and the

project planning, planning and execution of the construction aspects of wind energy projects. From site investigations to the planning of foundation designs; from earth-moving and access route construction work and any other construction specifications required for the project to their coordination and acceptance, HCE is a reliable partner. In mid 2008 HCE responded to the strong demand in the field of technical inspection of turn-key projects and has since then represented the interests of numerous manufacturers world-wide. Since 2009 HCE has also been represented as a project engineering provider in Turkey by its partner company HCEnergy Turkey and is currently preparing its own wind and photovoltaic projects. Despite the company’s rapid international development HCE continues to focus in particular on Germany as a wind energy site (on- and offshore) and thus also on local companies and longestablished, proven partnerships such as, for e.g., the one with e.n.o. energy.
