HIGH POWER GENERATING
EFFICIENCY
Permanent magnet generator (PMG)
eliminates the need for electrical
feld excitation and associated losses
present in induction-type generators
PMG is more effcient at partial load
(outputs less than rated capacity)
Increased effciencies and continued
compactness are expected of
Goldwinds PMG as future machines
are brought online
Less cooling is required in the
Goldwind 1.5MW PMG wind turbine
than in a conventional geared turbine.
No electrical or fuid systems are
required
HIGH POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO
The external diameter and total
weight of the Goldwind 1.5MW
wind turbine is smaller than wound
rotor designs
The marriage of a PMG and
direct - drive technology results in
lowest-in-class top-head-mass
SUPERIOR POWER QUALITY
AND GRID CODE COMPLIANCE
Full power conversion and fexible
power control satisfes demanding
grid code compliance requirements.
The Goldwind 1.5MW PMDD wind
turbine also features low-voltage and
zero-voltage ride through capabilities
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED
MAINTENANCE COSTS AND TOTAL
OPERATING EXPENDITURES
The design principles of the 1.5MW
PMDD wind turbine avoid the sources
of expensive faults that require crane
mobilization
The absence of slip rings and
carbon brushes in the generator
eliminates maintenance activity and
reduces faults, downtime and overall
operating expenditure
Only one moving part in the drive-
train compared to an average of 13+
gears and hundreds of total parts in
a conventional gearbox. There is also
no need in the Goldwind 1.5MW wind
turbine for high-speed associated
bearings, couplings, and high speed
brake parts
Only two bearing are required
compared with 20+ for high speed
conventional gearboxes. The slow
rotational speed of the Goldwind
1.5MW turbine extends bearing
service life
Pitch drive belts are used in place
of bull and pinion gears to improve
overall performance of the pitch
system, eliminate replacement of
expensive parts, and effectively
eliminate backlash and reduce
vibration (fatigue)
Goldwinds advanced pitch system
eliminates localized wear experienced
by gear-driven pitch systems, thereby
eliminating the need for blade or
rotor-drop
Ultra capacitors are used in place of
lead acid or gel batteries for Goldwinds
advanced pitch control system. They
have faster and more effcient charge/
discharge capabilities than batteries
and are ideal for a pitch system that
requires quick bursts of power
Ultra capacitors are smaller and
lighter for their power (capacity) then
batteries and have a wider operating
temperature range
