Direct Drive technology

EWT’s pitch controlled variable speed models wind turbine, combines advanced technology with mechanical simplicity and superior systems reliability. Heart of this proven direct drive turbine is a long-lasting slow rotating EWT-design multi-pole ring generator.

This reliable drive solution with a track record of over 200 operational units worldwide, replaces a complex high-speed geared drive train common in most competitor wind turbines.

A large single main bearing carries both the rotor assembly and generator rotor, and reduces the number of rotating components even further. And the load-optimised ‘monocoque type’ main chassis enables easy service access to essential rotor hub internals like rotor blade pitch drives and battery back-up units.

Light components, high reliability, reduced maintenance and excellent energy yield ensure an optimal return on investment.

We look forward to show you what our DIRECTWIND systems can offer in terms of
minimised Costs of Energy during a twenty-year operational period.
