Interview in the Windfair Newsletter with Peter Becker, Managing Director of Messe Husum & Congress about HUSUM WindEnergy 2012
Windfair: Mr Becker, welcome to the Windfair Newsletter Interview. As the new managing director of the Messe Husum and Congress, please tell us what changes we can expect in 2012?
Peter Becker: The wind trade fair in Husum has been running for over 20 years, and it has been successfully and well run. Otherwise it would hardly have become the wind industry’s leading international trade fair. As the new managing director of Messe Husum I want to build on this solid foundation and on the past experience.

The quietest turbine in its class. Low noise level, high performance – the 3.2M114 from REpower Systems SE, Hamburg in The Windfair Newsletter
Hamburg, Autumn 2011. The best wind turbines convince with performance, not by being the loudest. The acoustical and visual effects of a wind turbine must be taken into account from the initial planning stage right through to installation. The German Immission Control Act prescribes protective measures against noise or air pollution. As a consequence, wind turbines that are situated close to residential areas must not exceed certain sound emission values or shadow periods. The 3.2M114, the new power plant generation from REpower, is not only the quietest turbine in its class; above all, it is optimised for low wind conditions.
