Siemens D7 platform – 6.0-MW and 7.0-MW direct drive wind turbines

Siemens, the offshore leader Intelligent ways to drive down the cost of electricity Siemens has been a major driver of innovation in the wind power industry since 1980, when wind turbine technology was still in its infancy. Wind power is coming of age. It is fast becoming directly competitive with traditional energy sources. Driving down the levelized cost of wind energy is a key target for Siemens as we strive to make wind power independent of subsidies. Technology has changed with the times, but Siemens’s commitment to providing its customers with proven wind turbine solutions remains the same....

Lean, robust, and reliable technology Lean Siemens D7 platform wind turbines are based on proven Siemens direct drive technology: the simplest and most straightforward wind turbine design. Replacing the gearbox, the coupling, and the high-speed generator with a low-speed generator eliminates the high-speed stages of conventional drivetrains. Utilizing direct drive technology improves reliability by reducing the number of mechanical components. The associated reduction in maintenance requirements is crucial in offshore applications. Until now, the weight of large wind turbines has grown disproportionately...

Proven technology, advanced performance A380 Siemens NetConverter® Power boost functionality The NetConverter® system offers maximum flexibility in the turbine’s response to voltage and frequency control, fault ride-through, and output adjustment. As a result, Siemens wind turbines can be configured to comply with a variety of relevant grid codes in major markets and can be readily connected to the grid. The Siemens Wind Power power boost functionality is a wind turbine control feature that increases the annual energy production of the turbine by raising the rating up to 5 % depending on site...
