To eliminate gearbox failure and transmission losses, manufacturers have developed wind turbines without gearboxes. This type of wind turbine was introduced in 1991, and is known as the
This type of wind turbine is known as the variable speed direct drive wind turbine and was introduced to eliminate gearbox failure and transmission losses. The rotor is directly connected to the
One alternative is to use a “direct drive” generator that can generate electricity at much lower speeds. Direct drive systems do not require a gearbox and therefore have fewer moving parts.
Two primary types of wind turbines dominate the market: gearbox wind turbines and direct-drive wind turbines. Understanding the key differences between these two types is essential
A direct drive wind turbine converts rotor rotation to electrical power directly, without the use of a gear box. Traditional wind turbines use gearboxes to step up the rotational speed (about 100x) from the
A direct drive turbine is a type of wind turbine that eliminates the need for a gearbox by directly connecting the rotor shaft to the generator. This design allows for a more efficient transfer of
With no gearbox, our DIRECTWIND turbines have less rotating components than a standard turbine. They also feature a single main bearing, which supports the rotor assembly and generator, further
