Mihla wind turbine

Technically innovative, compactly built, high efficiency

The Vensys 100 wind turbine in Mihla has been continuously producing green electricity since December 2014. The turbine is located in the Wartburg district in Thuringia, Germany. The special feature of the turbine is its direct drive. The speed of the rotor is transmitted directly to the high-pole generator - without a maintenance-intensive gearbox! With a rotor diameter of 82 metres, the Vensys wind turbine can be used in both strong and weak wind zones. The turbine manufacturer Vensys guarantees a technical availability of the turbine of 97 percent within the framework of a full maintenance contract.
