Classic features, groundbreaking innovations

We have evolved our tried and trusted direct drive technology by making small improvements inside the nacelle. That includes upgrades to the power converter and transformer, and more powerful magnets.

The SWT-7.0-154 retains all key features of the Offshore Direct Drive platform. By using existing components the supply chain is ready to go and associated processes are already established.

Minimum upgrades for maximum effect

Compared to a new product introduction, staying within the SWT-6.0-154 design envelope means the 7 MW can provide a smooth transition for future projects in numerous ways. Product risk is reduced. Certification processes will be shorter. And the balance-of-plant supply chain impact from turbine configuration is minimal. In essence, we are reducing risk not only on a turbine level but, by extending on our proven platform, we bring valuable synergies to project development. Add a reduced need for turbine positions while increasing the power output and we arrive at a minimum upgrade for maximum effect.

Technological highlights

Efficient direct drive technology

Direct drive technology reduces the number of rating and wear-prone components in offshore turbines, making them simpler to maintain. Efficiency is improved by using a permanent magnet generator, which needs no excitation power. These and other design simplifications keep weight low and dimensions small, lowering transport and installation costs.

High Wind Ride Through

The High Wind Ride Through (HWRT) system is a breakthrough in stabilizing energy output. When the wind speed is higher than 25 meters per second, wind turbines typically shut down to avoid overload. Those equipped with the HRWT system will moderate power output instead, becoming more reliable to the electrical grid.

IntegralBlade® technology

The development of IntegralBlade® technology enables each fiberglass-reinforced epoxy blade to be cast in one piece. This process eliminates weaker areas at glue joints and delivers blades of optimum quality, strength and reliability.

Remote diagnostics services

Turbine sensors continuously transmit data to the Siemens Gamesa Diagnostic Center, enabling the early detection of anomalies and preventing potential failures. By analyzing vibration patterns we can optimize your service plan and anticipate repairs before serious damage occurs.
