The wind turbine is a complex electromechanical machine that uses various motorised mechanisms to transform the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy: from systems for the proper positioning of blades and nacelle to cooling systems. We develop the right motors for all applications within a wind turbine: customised for maximum energy efficiency and reliability.
Our engineers are APQP4WIND certified to ensure that our products meet the quality standards required by the industry.
We develop solutions with a focus on:
The Yaw Drive is the motorised system that allows the nacelle of a wind turbine to be positioned so as to orient the nacelle and blades to the wind, optimising the amount of energy that can be obtained. The motors powering the cogwheel that moves the nacelle relative to the base on which it is mounted must ensure precision of movement and position stability.
Our permanent magnet motors with IE4-IE5 efficiency level present the perfect combination of efficiency and weight reduction required in offshore applications. The possibility of controlling the motor with an inverter allows for accompanied acceleration and braking, and less wear and tear on the motor than with more abrupt systems. We develop brake motors that stop the movement of the wheel in the defined position without being moved by the wind.
