Max Bögl Wiesner, a joint venture of Max Bögl Group and Windkraft Oberpfalz, is the investor and operator of the new wind turbine project.
The wind turbine, which uses the power of Industrial Internet, is paired with the 120m rotor and a specially engineered hybrid tower with a hub height of 139m that allow for an efficient energy output.
By using data analysis, Industrial Internet will connect machines and equip them with intelligence and help in positioning each one for enhanced performance.
The 2.5-120 is designed to analyse tens of thousands of data points every second to drive higher output and will improve services productivity, helping to manage wind’s variability.
