US wind turbine gearboxes re-builder WindPower Innovations Inc, has revealed a permanent magnet direct drive wind turbine solution. "It's a smart technology that can sense variable load demands and automatically adjust power output. By eliminating gearbox maintenance and most importantly, failure, all of our nearly 100 permanent magnet solutions provide increased up-time with 75% less upkeep and repair", Ian Griffiths, the company's Chief Technical Officer (CTO) states.

The permanent magnet generator wind turbine solutions were developed as a key component in WindPower Innovations' overall mission to provide unique and efficient ways for the wind industry. The system, is able to produce a constant 60 HZ alternating current (AC) power over a wider band of operation when compared to traditional generators, which have only one or two power synchronisation peaks that can produce the 60HZ AC required by the grid. "Additionally, all of our Permanent Magnet Generators are certified for low noise, addressing one of the biggest environmental objections facing the wind industry today", Griffiths added.
