Wind power generators

High speed permanent magnet generator (HS PMG)
n New offshore design to expand the proven HS PMG family up to 7 MW

n Easy upgrade for doubly-fed turbine OEMs to the full converter concept
n Robust PM generators offer the smallest possible size and weight
n High efficiencies, especially at low speeds, reaching up to 98 %
n Superior grid compliance and all the benefits of the full converter concept
Easy offshore solution No need to change the turbine platform
