In an exciting development for India’s renewable energy landscape, Suzlon Group, the country’s largest renewable energy solutions provider, has secured a significant order from Serentica Renewables. The order entails the installation of 68 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a rated capacity of 3 MW each, for Serentica’s upcoming 204 MW wind power project in Koppal, Karnataka.
This collaboration between Suzlon and Serentica is a major milestone in the industrial decarbonization journey of both companies, contributing to India’s ambitious energy transition goal. Let’s delve deeper into Suzlon’s 3 MW series of wind turbines and its impact on India’s wind energy sector.
Suzlon and Serentica Renewables Partnership
Suzlon’s partnership with Serentica Renewables reflects the commitment of corporate India towards achieving net-zero ambitions. Serentica Renewables, an industrial decarbonization player, aims to accelerate the energy transition for energy-intensive industries. By choosing Suzlon’s 3 MW series, Serentica underscores its dedication to providing reliable and sustainable green power to industrial customers. This collaboration aligns with India’s target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Suzlon’s 3 MW Series: A Technological Breakthrough
The Suzlon 3 MW series of wind turbines is a testament to the company’s pursuit of innovation and self-reliance. These turbines are designed to address the primary objectives of increasing energy generation and reducing the cost of energy. With a rotor diameter of 144 meters, the 3 MW turbines can effectively harness wind resources in low wind sites across India. Suzlon’s local content strategy, with up to 85-90% localization, demonstrates its commitment to promoting domestic manufacturing and fostering an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
Enhanced Performance and Energy Yield
The S144 wind turbine generator, part of Suzlon’s 3 MW series, is one of the largest wind turbines in India. Its capacity can be extended up to 3.15 MW, depending on site wind conditions. At a hub height of 160 meters, the S144 becomes India’s tallest wind turbine, unlocking wind resources at higher altitudes. Compared to Suzlon’s previous model, the S120 – 2.1 MW wind turbine, the S144 offers a remarkable 40-43% higher generation, showcasing its ability to optimize wind resources and make low-wind sites economically viable.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Superior Performance
Suzlon’s 3 MW turbine generators are equipped with the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology, a proven and reliable solution. Additionally, the turbines feature the SB 70.5 carbon fiber blade, a result of Suzlon’s engineering expertise. This advanced technology allows for the utilization of thinner aerodynamic profiles, ensuring exceptional performance even in low-wind sites. As a result, the 3 MW turbines deliver a significant increase in generation yield per unit of land, maximizing the efficiency of wind energy utilization.
Conclusion
Suzlon’s 3 MW series of wind turbines marks a remarkable milestone for the company and India’s wind energy sector. By combining cutting-edge technology, localization efforts, and a commitment to innovation, Suzlon is driving the adoption of renewable energy in the country.
The partnership with Serentica Renewables further strengthens Suzlon’s position as a key player in India’s renewable energy transition. With its outstanding performance and ability to unlock low-wind sites, the 3 MW series is poised to contribute significantly to India’s renewable energy targets and facilitate the realization of a sustainable and self-reliant future
