6 FAQs about [Defeng semi-direct drive wind turbine]
What is a direct drive wind turbine?
Because the direct-drive wind turbines do not have a gearbox, mechanical noise is reduced as well as fewer rotating components. Moreover, this type of wind turbine has a single main bearing for the rotor assembly and generator, which additionally reduces the number of moving parts, as well as the maintenance and repair costs.
What is a wind turbine drivetrain?
This paper presents the state-of-the-art technologies and development trends of wind turbine drivetrains – the system that converts kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy – in different stages of their life cycle: design, manufacturing, installation, operation, lifetime extension, decommissioning and recycling.
Will direct drive wind turbines become the dominant technology?
However, other experts indicated that the direct drive technology will eventually become the dominant technology. They come up with three arguments. First, the costs for the offshore support structure for direct drive wind turbines is lower than for gearbox wind turbines due to overall lower weight.
What is direct drive permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine?
With the continuous progress of power electronic technology and computer control technology, large-scale wind turbine can use the technology of direct driven permanent magnet wind turbines. Direct drive permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine is characterized by low speed and high torque requirements , , .
Are direct drive wind turbines better than a gearbox wind turbine?
They come up with three arguments. First, the costs for the offshore support structure for direct drive wind turbines is lower than for gearbox wind turbines due to overall lower weight. Second, direct drive has more potential for further improvement.
What is a variable speed direct drive wind turbine?
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 generator, implying that the generator speed is equivalent to the rotor speed.
