Brand: Siemens
The Siemens RE777 is a model of wind turbine developed by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE). It is part of the company's direct drive wind turbine technology platform, designed without a gearbox to reduce maintenance requirements and system costs while improving reliability and efficiency.The RE777 has a rotor diameter of 177 meters, making it one of the largest wind turbines in the world. It can generate up to 8 MW of electricity, with a capacity factor (actual power output over time) of around 60%. The turbine is also integrated with SGRE's innovative One Blade technology, offering both improved operational effectiveness and a lighter physical footprint.The RE777 has been deployed in multiple wind farms around the world, including the Hornsea 2 wind farm in the North Sea and the Moray East wind farm off the coast of Scotland. These projects are part of a wider trend towards larger and more efficient wind turbines, contributing significantly to the growth of renewable energy globally.
