Driving down the cost of electricity
In harsh offshore conditions, moving parts are likely to wear. But through the application of the direct drive technology, Siemens Gamesa Offshore Direct Drive wind turbines use fewer moving parts than comparable geared machines. Besides reducing the likelihood of failures, this also means fewer spare parts are needed over the course of a wind farm’s lifetime. This unique combination of simplicity, robustness, and low weight significantly reduces infrastructure, installation, and service costs – while increasing a project’s lifetime energy output. Lower tonnage quite simply translates to greater power production at lowest lifecycle cost.
Technological highlights
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 the weight low and dimensions small, lowering transport and installation costs.
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 for self-protection. Those equipped with the HWRT system will slowly ramp down power output instead, enabling smoother production ramp-down and thereby a more reliable electrical grid.
The development of IntegralBlade® technology enables each fiberglass-reinforced epoxy blade to be cast in one piece. This process eliminates weaker areas at glued joints and produces blades of optimum quality, strength, and reliability.
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.
