Cypress提供了显著的AEP改进，提高了服务效率，改进了物流和选址潜力，终为客户带来了更大的价值。它的设计是随着时间的推移，使通用电气能够提供更广泛的电力评级和枢纽高度，以满足整个5兆瓦范围内的客户需求。该平台还提供了高达50%的AEP在平台的使用寿命比通用电气的3兆瓦涡轮机。这是通用电气今年推出的第二大技术平台，通用电气于今年3月推出了Haliade-X海上涡轮平台。

　　Cypress平台，其中也包括4.8-158，将由一个革命性的两片刀片设计，使刀片可以制造更长的长度，并改善物流提供更多的选址选择。更长的叶片改善了AEP，并帮助降低了电费水平(LCOE)，而专有设计将使这些更大的涡轮机能够安装在以前无法进入的地方。它大大降低了后勤成本，使刀片组装在现场，并减少了运输较长叶片所需的设备和道路工程费用。同样重要的是，它的特点是刀片提示，为客户提供更大的灵活性，以解决网站风的条件和要求。

　　高科技碳叶片是通过通用电气的陆上风电业务、通用电气的研究中心和通用电气的LM风力发电公司之间的长期合作开发的，利用了这些团队的研究、设计和大规模制造专业知识，将叶片从概念转变为经过检验和证明的现实。

　　为IEC(S)风速而设计的Cypress平台，充分利用了通用电气2兆瓦和3兆瓦的佳涡轮机-包括经过验证的DFIG-双馈感应发电机-以及健壮的驱动系统结构。这台机器是专门为服务而设计的，通过增强功能来帮助上塔维修和对其上塔电气系统进行故障排除，同时通过增加系统级的硬件测试和更健壮的制造流程，将传统的可靠性水平限制在主要部件上。这种基于计划、基于条件和预测的服务组合将有助于确保更高的可靠性、正常运行时间和生产，同时终降低客户的生命周期成本。

　　GE在岸风电业务的席执行官皮特·麦凯布(PeteMcCabe)说：“我们的使命是使我们的客户能够在范围内设定降低LCOE的步伐，因为他们的需求在不断变化。Cypress平台建立在我们的成功记录的基础上，并将我们的技术定位于未来几年的可伸缩性和灵活性。该原型Cypress 4.8-158目前正在我们的萨尔兹卑尔根，德国工厂生产，我们期待着部署和投入使用它在今年年底。这个平台反映了我们对质量的不懈关注，将使我们的客户在发电市场上达到一个新的竞争力水平。“

　　通用电气公司LM风力发电公司席执行官邓肯·贝瑞(Duncan Berry)表示：“这种令人兴奋的叶片增强功能正在彻底改变我们可以为通用电气客户提供的产品。我们的团队使用了颠覆性的设计方法和客户反馈，重新审视了我们的整个设计和制造过程。通过以全新的方式看待这把刀片，我们实现了一项技术突破，这将使我们能够更快地将新的刀片推向市场，为我们的客户服务。”

　　GE Renewable Energy launched its new onshore turbine platform, named Cypress, and the next model from that platform, GE's 5.3-158 turbine. The platform advances the proven technology of GE's 2 MW and 3 MW fleets, which serves an installed base of nearly 20 GW, while also utilizing architecture and innovations from the 4.8-158 turbine introduced in 2017.

　　Cypress enables significant AEP improvements, increased efficiency in serviceability, improved logistics and siting potential, and ultimately more value for customers. It is designed to scale over time, enabling GE to offer a wider array of power ratings and hub heights to meet customer needs throughout the 5 MW range. The platform also offers up to a 50 percent increase in AEP over the life of the platform versus GE's 3 MW turbines. It is the second major technology platform launch of the year for GE, which introduced the Haliade-X offshore turbine platform in March.

　　The Cypress platform, which also includes the 4.8-158, will be powered by a revolutionary two-piece blade design, enabling blades to be manufactured at even longer lengths and improving logistics to offer more siting options. Longer blades improve AEP and help drive down Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE), and the proprietary design will allow these larger turbines to be installed in locations that were previously inaccessible. It significantly drives down logistical costs, by enabling blade assembly onsite and reducing the costs for permitting equipment and road work required for transporting longer blades. Equally importantly, it features blade tips that offer customers greater flexibility to address site wind conditions and requirements.

　　The high-tech carbon blades were developed through the longtime partnership between GE's onshore Wind business, GE's Global Research Center and GE's LM Wind Power, taking advantage of the research, design and large-scale manufacturing expertise of these teams to bring the blades from concept to a tested and proven reality.

　　The Cypress platform, designed for IEC (S) wind speeds, leverages the best of GE's 2 MW and 3 MW turbines – including the proven DFIG - doubly-fed induction generator – and a robust drivetrain architecture. The machine is specifically designed for services, with enhancements to help with facilitating up-tower repairs and troubleshooting with its up-tower electrical system, while also pushing the limits of traditional reliability levels on major components, through increased systems level hardware testing and more robust manufacturing processes. This combination of planned, condition-based and predictive services will help to ensure more reliability, uptime and production while ultimately lowering lifecycle costs for the customer.

　　Pete McCabe, CEO of GE's onshore Wind business said, "Our mission is to enable our customers to set the pace for lowering the LCOE around the world, as their needs continue to evolve. The Cypress platform builds on our track record of success and positions our technology for scalability and flexibility for the coming years. The prototype Cypress 4.8-158 is currently under production at our Salzbergen, Germany facility and we are looking forward to deploying and commissioning it by the end of the year. This platform, which reflects our relentless focus on quality, will enable our customers to achieve a new level of competitiveness in the power generation marketplace."

　　Duncan Berry, CEO of GE's LM Wind Power said, "This exciting blade enhancement is revolutionizing the offerings that we can provide for GE's customers. Our team used a disruptive design methodology and customer feedback to re-examine our entire design and manufacturing process. By looking at this blade in an entirely new way, we achieved a technology breakthrough that will allow us to bring the new blades to market even faster for our customers."
