Design details are given for 1.5 MW Micon wind turbines erected at Gammelby, Kronprinzenkoog, Helmean, Scheid, and Oldersbek in Germany, and at Tjaereborg in Denmark together with a brief account of operating experience. The main technical problem has been a bearing failure in the Tjaereborg machine. The turbines have rotor diameters of 60 or 64 m. Turbines with 72 and 78 m rotors are planned. (uk)
