Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy ( Siemens Gamesa or SGRE ) is an internationally active and listed manufacturer of wind turbines based in Zamudio near Bilbao in the northern Spanish province of Vizcaya . Siemens Gamesa was created in April 2017 when Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica SA was renamed after its merger with Siemens' wind energy division . Together with Vestas , Goldwind and GE Wind, Siemens Gamesa is one of the largest manufacturers of onshore and offshore wind turbines worldwide.

history

Siemens Wind Power emerged from the former companies Bonus Energy A / S ( Brande , Denmark , founded in 1980 as Danregn Vindkraft A / S ) and AN Windenergie GmbH ( Bremen ). Bonus Energy A / S was acquired by Siemens in October 2004 at an estimated price of between $ 250 million and $ 400 million (DKK 1.5 to 2.5 billion). At that time, Bonus had a turnover of 300 million euros with 750 employees. In November 2005, the business area was expanded with the purchase of AN Windenergie GmbH . This company had been a cooperation partner and licensee of Bonus Energy in Germany since 1989 and sold the Danish partner's plant types under the name AN Bonus .

At the end of 2011, Siemens and Shanghai Electric agreed a strategic collaboration to better serve China, the world's largest market for wind energy. The collaboration was reduced to a license partnership in 2015 .

In July 2012, Siemens and the Danish energy group Dong Energy signed a framework agreement for 300 directly driven wind turbines, which are to be installed in offshore wind farms in Great Britain between 2014 and 2017 . The plants come u. a. in offshore wind farm Wester Most Rough and offshore wind farm Race Bank used.

In December 2013, Siemens Wind Power received the largest order ever awarded in the onshore wind industry. The US energy company MidAmerican ordered a total of 448 SWT-2.3-108 turbines with a total output of 1050 MW for five wind farms.

After the announcement in July 2015 that it wanted to build a production plant for nacelles, generators and hubs for offshore wind turbines in Cuxhaven , Siemens invested around 200 million euros in the production facility, which will employ up to 1,000 workers. Production started on July 12, 2017. The matching 75 m long rotor blades are also produced in the new plant in Hull , UK . To manufacture the rotor blades for the wind markets in Africa, the Middle East and Europe, Siemens invested a further 100 million euros in a new factory in the Moroccan city of Tangier . Siemens Gamesa is planning a new production plant in Port du Havre, France, to meet local content clauses . Components for the Dieppe et Le Tréport , Baie de Saint-Brieuc and Iles d'Yeu et de Noirmoutier offshore wind farms are to be manufactured there from 2022 . Template: future / in 2 years

In June 2016, it became known that the Spanish wind turbine manufacturer Gamesa and Siemens had agreed in principle to merge their wind energy businesses. The merger between Gamesa and Siemens Wind Power was completed on April 3, 2017, when Siemens took over 59% of the shares in Gamesa. The headquarters and the headquarters for onshore activities will be bundled in Spain. The offshore activities will remain at the locations previously used by Siemens Wind Power in Hamburg and Vejle .

The Adwen series, a 2015 Resulting joint venture of AREVA Wind (formerly Multibrid ) and Gamesa for offshore wind turbines based in Bremerhaven , Siemens, Gamesa was in favor of gearless Siemens technology in the fall 2017th

Based on the newly installed capacity of 5490 megawatts , Siemens Gamesa was the fourth largest manufacturer of onshore wind turbines worldwide in 2019 after Vestas , Goldwind and GE Wind Energy (2018: 4080 MW, 2017: 6800 MW). Before their merger, Siemens installed 2100 MW and Gamesa 3700 MW in 2016. As in previous years, Siemens Gamesa was the world market leader in the offshore sector in 2019 with 3,300 MW of newly installed capacity.

In 2019, Siemens Gamesa sold the project development company Gamesa Energie Deutschland GmbH , based in Oldenburg, to enercity . In October 2019, there was a contractual agreement on the purchase of some parts of the business of the insolvent competitor Senvion for a total of 200 million euros: European service business for onshore wind turbines, all intellectual property and onshore rotor blade production in Vagos (Portugal).

The Siemens Supervisory Board approved the purchase of the 8.1 percent block of shares in Siemens Gamesa at its regular meeting on February 4, 2020, and Siemens acquired all of the SGRE shares held by Iberdrola at a price of EUR 20.00 per share, which corresponds to a total of EUR 1.1 billion. All legal disputes between Iberdrola and Siemens are resolved.

Drive concepts

The wind turbines with Siemens technology fall back on two different drive concepts: With the acquisition of Bonus Energy A / S , a conventional drive technology consisting of a drive train with gearbox was originally taken over. The gearbox converts the torque of the main shaft into a high rotational speed, which drives the asynchronous generator.

In 2008 Siemens began testing its own gearless drive technology in which a synchronous generator with permanent excitation is driven directly by the rotor . The generator consists of the rotor in the form of a cylinder with magnets on the inside. The magnets encircle the stationary stator. The use of permanent magnets allows a simpler and more compact construction of the generator without electrical excitation, its control and slip rings , otherwise z. B. Enercon . However, rare earth metals are sometimes used in permanent magnets . Siemens is working on strategies for more efficient use, recycling and substitution of these materials.

The first marketable gearless wind turbine from Siemens, a SWT-3.0-101 , was built in 2010. Compared to the geared turbine SWT-2.3-101 , the SWT-3.0-101 offers 25% more power with less weight and half the number of components.

In December 2012, Siemens installed the prototype of the SWT-4.0-130 , a further development of the SWT-3.6-120 , in the Østerild wind power plant test field , initially using the 120-meter rotor of the turbine that served as the technical basis. The system, which has a nominal output of 4 MW with a rotor diameter of 130 m, has been in series production since 2015. The main product in the offshore sector is the D7 platform , which is being developed step by step and is to be manufactured by the 2020s. Siemens expects this to reduce the cost of offshore wind energy to 100 euros / MWh by 2020. In the first half of the 2020s, a new generation of systems in the output class of approx. 10 MW is to appear, with which the offshore electricity production costs including grid connection should fall to around 80 euros / MWh by 2025. At the beginning of 2019, the further development of the gearless direct drive for offshore use was presented with the system type SG 10.0-193 DD .
