Since entering the wind industry in 2002,
GE Power & Water’s Renewable Energy
business has invested more than 2 billion
dollars in next generation wind turbines.
Whether at the turbine, plant, or grid level,
GE continues to focus on providing more
value for our customers. Through the use of
advanced analytics, GE’s Renewable Energy
business is redefining the future of wind
power, delivering on proven performance,
availability and reliability. With the
integration of big data and the industrial
internet, the company is helping to manage
the variability of wind to provide smooth,
predictable power. Our current product
portfolio includes wind turbines with rated
capacities ranging from 1.6 MW to 3.2 MW
and support services ranging from
development assistance, site optimization
and operation and maintenance.

GE’s 3.2-103…A Powerful Turbine
GE’s 3.2-103 brilliant wind turbine generates an impressive amount of energy for medium-to-high wind
speed sites. Building on the exceptional performance of the 2.5 MW fleet, GE’s 3.2-103 wind turbine
provides a 5% increase in energy output, with the same reliable performance as the 2.85-103. With towers
for hub heights ranging 70 to 98 meters, the 3.2-103 helps wind developers generate higher annual energy
production, even in tip height constrained sites.
As a brilliant turbine, the 3.2-103 utilizes the power of the Industrial Internet to help manage the
variability of wind, providing smooth, predictable power. By analyzing tens of thousands of data
points every second, the 3.2-103 integrates energy storage and advanced forecasting algorithms while
communicating seamlessly with neighboring turbines, service technicians and operators.
Building Upon Proven Performance
With an installed global fleet of over 22,000 units, GE’s technology runs at 98%+ availability. Together
with GE’s tailored customer service options, GE can enhance the value of the assets over their lifetime
and reduce the cost of electricity for our customers.
As one of the world’s leading wind turbine suppliers, GE provides an evolutionary wind turbine product
portfolio and support services extending from development assistance to operation and maintenance
for the successful implementation of projects. This creditable track record supports customers with the
financeability of their wind projects.

A Proven Track Record of
Delivering Reliable Power
Efficiently
Sharing the experience from over 1,200 operating 2.5 MW turbines,
GE’s 3.2-103 is based on this proven platform. The 3.2-103 wind
turbine is engineered to meet certification requirements for IEC
Wind Class II environments. GE’s patented loads control system
proactively measures stress during operation. The individually
adjustable blade pitch system from GE is used to operate the
unit for high energy generation. The GE power converter system
efficiently converts the produced energy into the grid, enhancing
the annual energy production. With over 22,000 wind turbines in
operation, GE has the worldwide reputation to meet the strictest
grid requirements and deliver reliable energy into the grid.
Focusing on performance, reliability and efficiency, GE’s 3.2-103
wind turbine will provide high customer value through
evolutionary engineering.
Product Features
GE’s 3.2-103 offers the following technical features:
• 103-meter rotor diameter
• 50/60 Hz
• Towers supporting hub heights from 70- to 98-meters
• 105 dB(A) standard sound power level
• Optional integrated battery storage

GE’s 3.2-103…Integrated Energy Storage
GE is redefining the future of wind power by harnessing the power of the Industrial Internet with GE’s
advanced wind technology. By integrating GE’s Durathon* battery technology at the turbine level and
pairing it with advanced forecasting algorithms, power producers are able to drive higher output and
create new revenue streams for wind operators.
GE’s engineers have created three battery-enabled software applications that integrate seamlessly
with the wind turbine to provide enhanced wind power availability. Wind developers and operators can
select the application or combination of applications that best suits individual site needs.
• Ramp Control. Today, when wind speed increases quickly, the grid cannot always absorb the extra wind
power produced. GE’s Ramp Control App allows the brilliant turbine to capture “wasted” wind power and
store it in the battery, meaning operators can capture revenue previously left on the table.
• Predictable Power. Power producers must be able to provide consistent and predictable power to the
grid, but the variability of wind can make smooth grid integration challenging. The Predictable Power
App allows the brilliant turbine to smooth out the short-term peaks and valleys in wind power and
make it predictable over periods of 15-60 minutes.
• Frequency Regulation. Power demand changes throughout the day, and grid operators must keep up
with its constant fluctuation. Grid operators look to power producers to respond rapidly to keep the
grid balanced. The Frequency Regulation App allows wind farms to store energy in the battery and
respond immediately to load changes with precision.
