Wind turbine in Laasow

The Laasow wind power plant was from September 2006 to December 2012 with a hub height of 160 m the highest wind power plant in the world and until 2014 the highest wind power plant in Germany. It was completed by the Fuhrländer company in Laasow (part of the city of Vetschau / Spreewald ) on September 14, 2006 after a three-month construction period.

The Fuhrländer FL 2500 system consists of a steel lattice tower on which a rotor with a diameter of 90 m rotates. The total height in the uppermost rotor circuit is therefore around 205 m. The machine generates a maximum nominal output of 2.5  MW . When commissioning, an electrical energy yield of 7200 MWh / year was forecast. The electrical energy is processed with a double-fed asynchronous machine and a water-cooled frequency converter .

The operator of the plant is the company EFI Wind GmbH (formerly SeeBA Energy Farming ).

In December 2012 it was replaced as the tallest wind turbine. In the Polish Nowy Tomyśl wind farm , two wind turbines of the same type (Fuhrländer FL 2500) with a 160 meter high steel lattice tower, but a rotor diameter of 100 meters, were built. These systems are thus around 210 m high.
