Operation Center

Nowadays, the installed power reaches 375,4 MW in operation. This power is made by the 148 turbines in Osório plus the 25 turbines in the neighbor city Palmares do Sul. All of them are controlled by the Operation Center in Osório.

Technology

The Osório Wind Farm turbines were produced in Brazil by Enercon-Wobben reaching a nationalization index over 60%. The advanced technology allowed the development of a ring shape generator with no gear system on its coupling. Even with a high wind speed, the generator reaches a 21 rotation per minute level, producing a low noise level and a long profitable life if compared with its competitors.

Art & Architecture

The installations creativity, innovation and architecture are an Enerfín characteristic that approaches the community and provides harmony between the wind farms and the rural proprieties and their activities.

Environmental Preservation

The Osório Wind Farm environmental monitoring began in 2005 when was executed the first bird behavior study by a multidisciplinary group of professionals. Ever since, the monitoring routines became an usual practice in response to the state environmental agency, FEPAM.

Birdlife Monitoring

OThe monitoring studies confirmed that most bird species in the region has a flight height among the ground and 50 meters. The ten years observations allowed to conclude that most birds adopted a short fly behavior around the wetlands to search for food and water. Considering the 65 meters blade movement and the birds low flight height, it is confirmed a low collision rate and a high adaptation level from the fauna to the turbines.
