Very good design and business model. The direct-drive synchronous generator is a proven technology and you have built a great project around it. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

@jeff13151 Wish I could afford one.

[@Zackzickel]

The turbines you see in this video are asynchronous generators. That was before direct drive was cool and every manufacturer started building synchronous generators. Sadly Enercon had to change to this design too. Their newer models don’t look good anymore.

[@KiwiPowerNZ]

I like the fact that you do so much manufacturing in house, that seems to be a thing of the past these days.

Love the concept of Enercon turbines. It's a shame that they aren't in the offshore market. Would have been cool seeing a 12MW+ turbine from them. Direct drive turbines are an amazing concept and hopefully it will become dominant .

For anyone wondering, the E82, the biggest one Enercon manufactures, is roughly $3.1 Million and has a power output of 2-3 MW.

[@arson_fire]

They are going upto E-161 5+mw soon. E-82s are old news

[@Ed.R]

In reply to those saying the generator is inefficient, should have used permanent magnets. The first problem is that it would be incredibly expensive to use neodymium magnets of that size. Second is that permanent magnets obviously have a fixed field strength. This means less control over the output of the generator. Possibly resulting in it being operated inefficiently at certain wind speeds. Another issue is that neodymium magnets are highly susceptible to serious corrosion. Coatings help prevent this but on something that is moving most of the time this could fail over the years. In the end why get too obsessed by efficiency when the fuel source is free. What matters more is reliability and its ability to continue giving an output during high wind speeds.

[@yodaddy82daddy70]

In all the reliability is low. It has very low output and costs a fortune to maintain. Also it uses some of the most hazardous materials to make. And serious energy to produce. So a blade might cost us a year in energy just to make? Real efficient.

[@yodaddy82daddy70]

You should focus on solar energy. Or thermal energy. both already have unlimited energy and are less invasive and also less expensive.

[@Ed.R]

It depends on the location but in the right place a wind turbine soon pays off the energy used to make it. You are correct about the use of materials but wind is an important part of the renewables mix for the moment anyway. What a lot of people forget is that energy efficiency is the number one priority. Reduce the demand and we don't have to build as much of everything.

[@JF32304]

I'm not talking about rare earth's. I'm talking about a total redesigned gen head. these types of heads are stupid inefficient.

[@Ed.R]

In theory the generator could be made with super conductors and kept an some stupid cold temperature requiring most of the turbines output. Or what works so much better in the real world is to accept that it will never be very efficient but its far simpler and works sufficiently for our needs at the moment.

[@Bosco12ful]

I think that The so-called annular generator by Enercon. It is the multi-pole WRSG with DC exciter mounted outside the rotor shaft. This topology can be implemented without the need for a gearbox by incrementing the number of poles of the rotor. The increasing on the number of poles implies a large generator diameter as seen in the video., resulting in a machine of larger dimensions. As the machine is gearless and low speed, they are right to claim low noisy. I think that it is direct - driven annular generator. The interesting feature of this machine is the DC controllable exciter which allows the rotor flux to be controlled for various purposes such as filed weakening strategies. My question is that what Enercon think about Type 5 Variable Speed WTG system?

[@poly_hexamethyl]

1:13 7.5 Megawatts! Holy crap, that is a lot of power! I wonder how much wind it needs to reach that output? I guess it wouldn't necessarily need all that much, provided the propellor is large enough. Just a thought...if you had field of these, I wonder if you could run them in reverse as motors and produce enough wind to change the weather? :-)

[@LeeMaitland]

Addressing some points in the comments: Industrial sized wind turbines with a service life of around 20-25 years tend to pay for themselves in a few years or so, depending on local schemes, wind speeds, generation rates etc, and the costs are shrinking globally at an unprecedented rate as experience is gained and designs refined. Energy from solar and wind is abundant, it won't run out like fossil fuels and nuclear materials will and we can use as much as we want, so in that respect it is 'free' as in 'free to use as we please', extracting it, converting it into a useful form and transporting it is not free and will always come at a cost. Within 5 years, renewable energy coupled with storage systems are going to be cheaper and cleaner than any current generation method, all the while addressing the climate issue. Did you know the global fossil fuel industry takes approximately $5 Trillion in subsidies annually? That's your taxes they are taking with one hand and astronomic bills for the energy you use with the other, bills that fluctuate depending on what another country happens to be doing at the time. Wind energy is on the brink of being completely subsidy free in some countries and cheaper than any other method of generation, not to mention more nationally and defensively secure. Can you imagine how much electricity we could produce with renewables for $5 Tn a year and what we could do with that electricity?

je suis Roger Dontsop Dongmo , Manager de la Société BRICKETT SARL ENERGY And OFFSHORE au Cameroun. En réponse à ceux qui disent que le générateur est inefficace, aurait dû utiliser des aimants permanents. Le premier problème est qu’il serait extrêmement coûteux d’utiliser des aimants en néodyme de cette taille. Deuxièmement, les aimants permanents ont évidemment une intensité de champ fixe. Cela signifie moins de contrôle sur la sortie du générateur. Cela pourrait entraîner un fonctionnement inefficace à certaines vitesses de vent. Un autre problème est que les aimants au néodyme sont très sensibles à la corrosion. Les revêtements aident à empêcher cela, mais ils pourraient échouer au fil des ans sur quelque chose qui bouge la plupart du temps. En fin de compte, pourquoi être trop obsédé par l’efficacité lorsque la source de carburant est gratuite. Ce qui compte le plus, c’est la fiabilité et sa capacité à continuer à fournir un rendement par vent fort.
