Welcome to #TeamENERCON: Global Day November 2024 Yesterday our Global Day took place, in which around over 20 new colleagues from different countries in the international ENERCON world taking part this time. It is very important to us that our new employees feel at ease straight away and are not simply thrown into their new professional challenge at the deep end. This is why we organise a monthly global onboarding event as part of the onboarding process. In this digital format, various functions give an insight into their day-to-day work in the world of wind energy through short, interactive presentations. In addition to the pure transfer of knowledge, the focus is on networking. We wish all starters a good and successful start! 🤗🍀 Interested in experiencing our onboarding for yourself and helping to shape the future of the energy transition? We are always on the lookout for new, well-motivated team players: https://lnkd.in/eXjFRtsF

The first project of YEKA RES 3 was successfully commissioned! Thanks to the close collaboration with our customer KALEN ENERJİ all wind turbines of Ordu wind farm in Türkiye were recently connected to the grid. The project comprises 10 E-138 EP3 with a total capacity of 40 MW.  Ordu wind farm is located in the Black Sea region characterised by challenging site conditions for wind farm installation and operation. Therefore, we supported our customer right from the beginning with comprehensive site analytics to optimise turbine selection and site layout. As a result, the E-138 EP 3 was identified as perfect fit.  The Ordu project is also a good example for local production: Towers, blades, and generators of the E-138 EP3 series were manufactured in Türkiye while the nacelles were supplied from German production facilities. This project has achieved an impressive localisation rate according to the YEKA 3 Localisation Specification, underlining our commitment to effectively use local resources and expertise.  ‘We are grateful for this milestone and the trust that KALEN enerji places in our ENERCON technology and team’, Arif Günyar, Regional Head of CAMEA region, states. ‘Supporting our customers both with quality turbine technology and further value adding services makes us a reliable and experienced partner for wind farm projects worldwide.’ #enercon #renewables #energytransition #windenergy #climatechange #onshore #Turkey #success #teamwork

We are always looking for ways to make work on our construction sites even more efficient and safe: For rotor blade installation we have recently been relying on an innovative combination of Rotor Blade Clamp (RBC) and Automatic Positioning System (APS). The APS developed according to our requirements consists of two propellers that are mounted on the lifting beam. With the propellers as “wings”, rotor blade installation can be performed without the use of guide ropes controlled by our installation specialists on the ground. The two propellers can compensate for higher wind speeds up to 10 m/s and are better at stabilising the rotor blades. A real time-saver! ➡️ Learn more about the advantages of the installation tool in the current edition of our company magazine Windblatt: https://lnkd.in/eNMTeXRG #enercon #renewables #energytransition #windenergy #climatechange #onshore #safety #innovative #construction

Premiere for the Asia Pacific Region: Recently, we have not only installed the first E-160 EP5 with modular steel tower technology in South Korea, but also the first e-nacelle in the APAC region. The new technology brings further opportunities into the region and increases the appetite for bigger wind turbine types from ENERCON in the coming projects in South Korea.    Learn more about the Parang Project in the current issue of our company magazine Windblatt: https://lnkd.in/e89NJEmj  #windenergie #windenergy #renewables #renewableenergies #southkorea #energytransition #project #newsletter

As ENERCON, we are pleased to be part of the WiValdi research wind farm in Krummendeich (Germany) and to support current tests by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with our expertise and product knowledge. The static tests on the rotor blades of the E-115 EP3 are an important prerequisite for further measurement campaigns, from which all partners hope to gain valuable insights into how we can make the site layout of wind farms even more area-efficient in the future and at the same time maintain or even extend the product lifetime of our turbines. In this way, we are contributing to a successful energy transition, even with limited space availability. ©Picture: German Aerospace Center (DLR) #energytransition #renewables #renewableenergies #cleanenergy #windenergie #windenergy #research #windfarm
