Beyond the Gearbox

Nicholas

For decades, wind turbines have relied on gearboxes to translate slow rotor speeds into the high speeds needed for electricity generation. But these gearboxes come with drawbacks: maintenance costs, weight, and efficiency losses. Enter the Vernier permanent magnet (PM) machine, a revolutionary design that ditches the gearbox entirely. Vernier PM machines boast exceptional torque at low speeds, perfectly suited for capturing wind energy. Their simple, robust structure translates into lower maintenance needs and lighter weight, making them ideal for larger, more powerful turbines. This eliminates gearbox losses, boosting overall wind turbine efficiency and energy production. With Vernier PM machines, wind power takes a significant leap forward, becoming a cleaner, more reliable, and cost-effective source of renewable energy
