Haliade™ 150-6MW
Offshore wind turbine

Alstom, a key player in
power generation, offers
a new generation, high
yield offshore wind turbine.
Uncompromising on
reliability and designed
for ease of installation,
the turbine lowers the cost
of offshore energy.

High yield, uncompromising reliability
Building upon its ALSTOM PURE TORQUE® technology for reliability, Alstom has
developed an offshore 6 MW direct-drive wind turbine suitable for all offshore
conditions. Proven technology and innovation are combined to deliver market-leading
cost efficiency.
The turbine incorporates dedicated offshore technology in collaboration with some
of the industry’s leading component suppliers. There can be no compromises on a
power-generating product that operates in the industry’s most challenging
environmental conditions.

Technical Overview

A distribution cabinet in the nacelle
supplies power and signals to pitch, yaw
and cooling fans and collects signals
from all system sensors.

The Haliade™ 150-6MW is a
threebladed wind turbine with a 150 m
diameter rotor and a rated power
of 6 MW.

RPWR/PRSHT/HLD150-6MW/EN/2.2014/FRA/1954

The turbine has been designed following
Class I-B specifications of the standards
IEC-61400-1 / IEC-61400-3.
It is suitable for sites with a reference
wind speed of 50 m/s (10 minutes
average) and a 50-year extreme gust
speed of 70 m/s (3 seconds average).

Alstom’s Haliade™ 150-6MW
has been key in winning
3 projects for the installation
of 240 wind turbines off
the coast of France.
This innovative technology
helps drive down the cost of
electricity and we believe this
6 MW turbine is positioned as
the market reference in the field
of offshore wind worldwide.

Deputy General Manager
of EDF EN France

The Haliade™ 150-6MW is equipped
with a direct-drive permanent magnet
generator and three identical full-power
converters operating at 900 V each.
This voltage is increased by means of
a transformer included in the turbine.
The inverter, transformer, switchgear and
low voltage electrical distribution cabinet
are located at the tower base.

The wind turbine is air-cooled and
pressurised. Construction materials and
protection treatments are specifically
designed for offshore environments.
Heat exchangers and pressuring
units prevent salty air entering while
dehumidifiers prevent corrosion of
components inside the wind turbine.
