Offshore wind turbine SG 14-222

variable-speed

A 222-meter rotor and 108-meter-long B108 blades – based on the trusted IntegralBlade® technology – enables the SG 14-222 to produce more than 25% AEP compared to its predecessor With every new generation of our offshore direct drive turbine technology – which uses fewer moving parts than geared turbines – component improvements have enabled greater performance while maintaining reliability. We are able to reduce time to market of the SG 14-222 thanks to standardized processes and a fully developed supply chain. Enabling high volume production at low risk. The serial production is planned for 2024. Efficient direct drive technology Direct drive technology reduces the number of rating and wear-prone components in offshore turbines, making them simpler to maintain. Efficiency is improved by using a permanent magnet generator, which needs no excitation. These and other design simplifications keep the weight low and dimensions small and lower the transport and installation costs per MW. High Wind Ride Through The High Wind Ride Through (HWRT) system is a breakthrough in stabilizing energy output. When the wind speed is higher than 25 meters per second, wind turbines typically shut down for self-protection. Those equipped with the HWRT system will slowly ramp down power output instead, enabling smoother production ramp-down and thereby a more reliable electrical grid.
