6 FAQs about [Wind power direct drive generator hoisting]
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 direct drive generator?
Direct-drive generators have low operational rotation speeds of around 10 rpm and high torques are developed through the generator structure (Wilson, 2010; Carroll et al., 2015; Márquez et al., 2018). Fig. 1 depicts a typical wind turbine direct driven powertrain configuration with a permanent magnet electrical generator, “PM”.
Does oating wind turbine motion affect direct-drive generator air gap integrity?
