M5000 technology tailor-made for offshore

A leading-edge 5 MW offshore wind
turbine:
Hybrid drive-train solution (special gearbox and

generator design)

Gear box with

4 stationary planets
Planets with friction bearings
Only 5 roller bearings

Full size converter to have best response to grid code

requirements

Redundancy concept for all key auxiliary aggregates

and sensors

Light weight of nacelle

High reliability through low rotational speed and low

number of rotating parts and bearings

Focus Reliability
Development Basics :
Condition monitoring of blades, drive train

and main subsystems

Maintenance rate 1 year

Corrosion protection through air filtering

system

Solid and high stiffness blade design

Secure high quality performance due to

Multibrid test procedures (e.g. factory testing

at nominal power)

Optimized maintenance procedure due to

machine design and introduction of RDS-PP

(Reference Designation System for Power
Plants) as well as Condition Monitoring
System
