Exploring Wind Energy Systems Without Gearbox - Research Findings

Investigating wind energy systems without a gearbox reveals insights on turbine performance and generator efficiency. The data generated highlights differences in output power, current, and RPM between ideal and actual setups. Higher RPM allows for a wider selection of generators, although the current required remains a challenge. The control system behind the generator shows promise, emphasizing the potential for future upgrades with better generators. Overall, the study showcases the impact of gearbox omission on turbine operations and the need for optimized generator solutions.

4. Conclusion Gearbox > No Gearbox (the turbines, not the teams) Higher RPM allows for greater selection of generators Control System behind the generator works great! Generator just is not able to source the current required If a better generator is found in the future, then it can be dropped into the circuit.

5. Wind Energy It Blows!
