Renewable energy generation simplifies its technology, as wind installations begin to reject gearboxes in favor of the good-old direct drive turbines, states a new report by energy experts.
The new report, "Wind Turbine Gearbox and Direct Drive Systems - Global Market Size, Company Share, Gearbox Refurbishments and Key Country Analysis to 2020", discusses the advantages and problems associated with advanced technology in the wind power industry. A gearbox allows the generator’s internal shaft to spin 50–250 times for each rotation of the turbine blades, and provides advantages including low noise levels and high efficiency. However, drawbacks include a high level of maintenance and low reliability.
