AWE 54-900 Windturbines
AWE 54-900KW
Meet the newest member of our AWE
turbines family. The AWE 54-900 is our
latest offering in a mid-size direct drive
machine. It comes from a rich heritage of
innovative proven technology.
The AWE 54-900’s elegant high tech energy
conversion system produces electric power
of an excellent quality with its slow running
ring generator.
In direct drive turbines, the number of
components has been reduced
tremendously. The result is a less
vulnerable machine. The rotor and
generator rotate as one integrated unit,
supported by a designed single bearing
system.
The absence of a gearbox simplifies
maintenance procedures. The use of a
monocoque nacelle also allows “all weather”
access to essential systems and controls
due to internal access.
The AWE 54-900 turbine is available in two
configurations. A 54 meter rotor diameter
machine for Class III wind conditions. A 52
meter rotor diameter machine (the AWE 52-
900) is also available for Class II higher wind
conditions.
Power Quality
Optimised grid properties allow for better
utilisation of existing infrastructure and
may save grid connection costs.
The variable speed AWE 900 series
turbines are ready for present and future
requirements due to its sophisticated
inverter system and advanced control
electronics.
An important programmable function is the
power factor, which can be adjusted on
demand.
