Fourth generation wind turbine increases yield, reduces operating costs

摘要

There is high demand for wind turbines to produce more energy at lower costs. It is assumed that taller towers mean more generating capacity. Because of this, OEMs are developing turbines that are efficient and reliable, and with proper maintenance last more than 20 years. For example, consider Nordex SE and its multi-megawatt Generation Delta wind turbine. This fourth generation N117/3000 and N100/3300 combine Nordex's technology with enhancements that include larger rotors, increased nominal output, and automatic lubrication of pitch-system bearings. This allows an increase in production and reduces operating costs over previous models.
