Wind Turbine

1.5 MW Platform

1.5 MW – The most popular wind turbine in its class

Simple, yet Superior. Gearless drive with Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) technology eliminates losses due to external excitation power and gear box. With patented passive air-cooled generator and frequency converter for the most varied grid requirements.

With a low-maintenance blade pitch system using a toothed belt drives instead of the traditional drive pinion, which is susceptible to wear.

With over 829 wind turbines installed in India and Sri Lanka, the 1.5 MW platforms is the most preferred gearless turbine. Innovative, and proven time and time again.

Offering a choice of three different rotor diameters – 77, 82 and 87 metres ideally suitable for the most varied wind zones. Further information is available on the technical data sheet.

  • Advanced technology with PMG direct drive, variable speed
  • Synchronous generator with permanent magnet excitation ensures no excitation losses, no reactive power, no dependence on grid
  • Full 90° pitchable blades offer aerodynamic braking
  • Variable speed operation offers high efficiency at low wind speeds
  • Fewer components provides advantages of low noise and low maintenance cost
  • Maintenance free Ultra capacitors instead of batteries for emergency supply of power for blade pitch-out
  • Maintenance free toothed belts for blade pitching
  • Versatile bearing for the turbine rotor also functions as bearing for the generator offering less maintenance
  • Enclosed & passive-patented cooling system for the generator maintains the generator temperature well within the permissible range and also eliminates dust & wear
