THE NORDEX GROUP’S PRESENCE

The French subsidiary Nordex France S.A.S was launched in 2001 and opened its first service point in Béziers, a city in the Occitanie region of southern France. Today, the Nordex Group has 400 employees working together to advance the energy revolution in France. The headquarters of the subsidiary is located in Plaine Saint-Denis, 9.4 km from the center of Paris. Since its market entry, the company has built more than 1,300 turbines with a total installed capacity of nearly 3,4 GW and has an additional capacity of 460 MW currently under construction. A total of 24 service points across the entire country form a service network that offers local expertise at international standards.


ENVIRONMENT

The French territory is characterized by its diversity, both in terms of climate and geography, with the northern area made of up more flat and cold terrain (with large areas that are susceptible to wind) than the south (marked by a more gentle climate and a topography combining mountains and valleys). This diversity will have an influence on the construction and operation of wind farms.

The product portfolio offered by the Nordex Groupe is ideally suited to these more or less complex terrains, with light to moderate winds, featuring a range of products that have been adapted to respond to local demands.

OUR PRODUCTS FOR FRANCE

The N149/4.0-4.5, N149/5.X and N163/5.X, from the Delta4000 generation, are considered to be some of the most competitive turbines on the market.
These turbines cover a large power range in class 4 MW+ and 5 MW+ and offer an increased competitive edge on sites with light and moderate winds thanks to their excellent adaptability, which makes them fully optimal for any type of site and climate. They are also equipped with a wide range of noise curves in order to operate as silently as possible while maximizing the production of the wind farm. One of the most significant challenges for the French market is to master the noise factor of wind turbines due to strict regulations in this area.
Equipped with 18 standard and combined acoustic modes with SCADA flexibility enabling the interlinking of various modes based on the site conditions, our wind turbines are ideally suited to the noise constraints of each site and keep noise-related slowdowns to a minimum.
Acoustic expertise has been one of the pillars of development for R&D at Nordex for a long time now. Already aware that this topic would be one of the major elements to consider during the development of wind power projects, our teams have been incorporating carbon fibers into the blades since the launch of the N117 in 2011. This was the starting point of a real determination to make the blade a key high-performance element, as noiseless and optimized as possible.
Apart from standard approved mechanisms that have already proven effective many times over on the French market, especially in highly sensitive areas, our machines can be equipped with serrated trailing edges (or serrations) which improve the acoustic performance of our wind turbines even more.
All of our machines installed in France feature all or some of these acoustic capabilities, including our N117 and N131 Delta already on the market, with capacities between 3.0 and 3.9 MW depending on the model.
