Direct Drive (Gearless) Wind Turbine Market Overview:
Gearboxes and direct-drive wind turbines share the focus of current development efforts, and are competing to become the dominant design. A wind turbine without gearboxes has been developed to eliminate gearbox failures and transmission losses. An example of this type of wind turbine is the variable speed direct-drive wind turbine, which was introduced in 1991. Direct-drive wind turbines are based on direct-drive technology. Since the generator is connected directly to the rotor of a direct-drive wind turbine, the generator speed is the same as the rotor speed. To achieve a high output frequency, designers placed several magnetic poles in the rotational generator.
A wind turbine generator can be classified as either a permanent magnet generator (PMG) or an electrically excited synchronous generator (EESG). Rare materials, such as neodymium, cannot be extracted from EESGs due to environmental concerns. While EESGs have several advantages, PMGs have several advantages as well, including high efficiency, elimination of field loss, and being small and lightweight. Small-scale wind turbines use PMGs, but they can also be used for large MW wind farms. Manufacturers had to design a specific generator to produce electricity with a low rotary speed. Permanent magnet synchronous generators, with their doughnut-shaped configuration, are better suited to direct drive than traditional generators, which have a cylindrical shape.
There is no doubt that wind power is a clean source of energy. In order to harness the wind’s energy, wind turbines are used. Wind power is harnessed to generate electricity, which is again used to power countless devices and equipment. Wind power is used to rotate turbine blades attached to a rotor, which is then attached to the main shaft by a rotor bearing. Electricity is produced by spinning a generator on this main shaft.
The energy sector is predicted to showcase significant industrial fragmentation in the upcoming years, and this is primarily due to the rising awareness regarding the utilization of renewable sources of energy over conventional energy sources. The energy sector is also benefitting from the introduction of blockchain technology as this can help in trading energy with efficiency and this technology also provides transparency which can be useful for consumers as well as the service providers. With global warming turning to be a significant existential issue for the entire world, the sustainability sector is predicted to witness substantial market growth in the next few years with initiatives untaken by governments across the world in creating a plastic-free infrastructure. Moreover, the automobile sector has slowly initiated in adopting electric vehicles and by the looks at its continuous growth, this shall be regularised over the next few years.
