There are over 400 MM92s in Canada. With Bachmann controls throughout the turbine and a ConverterTec power converter in the down tower, the MM92 is one of the most stable platforms on the market. The MM92 has a rated power output of 2.05 MW, which makes it suitable for most medium-sized wind projects.
The Senvion MM92 wind turbine offers several advantages that make it a popular choice in the renewable energy sector. Let’s explore some of its key benefits:
High Energy Yield: The Senvion MM92 is designed to maximize energy production, thanks to its advanced aerodynamics and efficient rotor blades. The larger rotor diameter, which sits at 92 (hence MM92) meters, allows the turbine to capture more wind energy, resulting in higher energy production.
Adaptability: The MM92 is suitable for various wind conditions, making it a versatile option. Its adaptive pitch control system using SSB DcTransD inverters or Moog/LTi/Lust/KEBA inverters ensures optimal performance in both low and high wind speed situations, allowing for consistent energy generation across different locations.
Robust and Reliable: With its robust construction and high-quality components, the MM92 is built to withstand harsh weather conditions. It has undergone rigorous testing and has a proven track record of reliability, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum operational efficiency.
Low Noise Emissions: The Senvion MM92 is designed to minimize noise emissions during operation. This makes it suitable for installation in areas close to residential or sensitive locations, where noise pollution needs to be kept to a minimum.
Environmentally friendly: As a clean and renewable energy source, wind power produced by the Senvion MM92 helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to a greener and more sustainable future. It helps in the transition towards a low-carbon economy.
Cost-Effective: The MM92 offers a good cost-performance ratio, making it an economically viable choice for wind energy projects. Its efficient design and reliable performance help optimize the return on investment over the turbine’s lifespan.
The test pitch system consists of an SSB DcTrans D (Post 2014) and a LTI/Moog (Pre-2014) pitch system with an SSB pitch motor or Moog pitch motor, respectively. The control software is controlled from an HMI laptop which allows the user to interface with the turbine using Senvion’s SCADA system.
The Bachmann cards are based around an industry-standard Bachmann M1 controller with CAN communication throughout the turbine as well as RS-485 communication throughout. The communication goes to an L&B controller which then communicates to the pitch system and controls each axis of the turbine. The power converter is ConverterTec (either CSC3 or CSC4 depending on the era) and can be configured with ModStack or LSC/MSC converter controls.
