ECO 80 Platform
ECO 80 & ECO 86 Wind Turbines

Alstom, one of the most

trusted names in power
generation, offers a
proven wind turbine
platform that is ideal
for all large-scale wind
farms with medium
and low winds.

The answer to complex terrains

The ECO 80 platform: The ECO 80 platform is a tried and tested range of wind
turbines. One thousand ECO 80 platform turbines are now capturing wind energy
reliably all over Southern Europe. Rated at 1.67 MW, each turbine generates
energy for over 1000 households.
Performance and efficiency: The Alstom ECO 80 turbines, designed to optimise
transport for complex terrains, are suitable for medium winds that are typically
found on hilltops and coastlines, as well as in many inland areas for low winds.
The 80-metre tower height strikes an efficient balance between overcoming wind
shear losses and tower material costs.

Features for performance

The ECO 80 platform was designed and built with a rigorous focus on reliability, performance and efficiency. The main benefits include:

Alstom Pure Torque

Now in the 3rd generation of Alstoms wind turbines, the ALSTOM PURE TORQUE design
separates deflection forces arising from wind buffeting from the pure rotor torque required for
power generation. It protects the drive train, ensuring higher reliability of the turbine.
Blade Logistics
With blades of no more than 40m, the ECO 80 platform allows access to most of the onshore
sites, simple assembly and erection in complex terrains. The ECO 80 platform provides ease of
transportation compared to the new generation of larger turbines.
Electrical yaw and pitch control
Responsive yaw and pitch controls are the key to stable power generation in a wider range of
winds. The new electrical variable speed pitch system keeps rotor speeds stable and allows a
smooth cut-off in excessive winds.
Alstom SCADA systems Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
Based on 30 years of turbine maintenance experience, coupled with the latest developments
in industrial communications, SCADA provides local and remote access to all the necessary
wind turbine data for optimised operation and maintenance.
Grid compatibility
Alstom turbines are compatible with the most demanding grid codes and provide advanced features
such as line-fault ride-through and reactive power injection.
