Transmission chain technology
Wind turbine drivetrains connect the rotor to the generator. Geared systems use a gearbox to increase rotational speed; direct-drive systems connect the rotor and generator without a gearbox.
High-speed gearbox and medium-speed drivetrain designs use different combinations of gearing and generators. The appropriate arrangement depends on the turbine model and project requirements.
Intelligence and digital monitoring
Sensors can monitor operating conditions such as temperature and rotational speed. Monitoring software and diagnostic tools use that data to help identify changes in equipment condition.
Digital control and monitoring systems support the coordination of turbines across a wind farm. The functions available depend on the equipment and control platform.
Offshore wind power and turbine design
Offshore turbine design considers generator capacity, drivetrain arrangement and the demands of a marine environment. Direct-drive technology is one approach used in large offshore turbines.
The turbine manufacturer’s specifications determine equipment ratings and operating requirements. Share your equipment details with Green Origin so the relevant service scope can be confirmed.
Blade and material innovation
Wind industry developments include lighter composite blade structures and 3D-printed tooling for blade manufacture. These approaches address blade weight, production methods and equipment performance.
