From 15 to 18 September, Winergy will present new options for the maintenance and service of wind turbine gearboxes at the Husum Wind fair. The result: minimizing the risk for the operator and increasing the availability of wind turbines. Until now, when a bearing of the planet carrier in a gearbox needed replacing or servicing…

TÜV Rheinland has certified the HybridDrive system from wind-turbine-component manufacturer Winergy, according to the GL2010 Guideline. The system consists of a gearbox and generator. “We are glad the certification was accomplished so quickly”, said Matthias Deicke, Winergy Project Manager. “The fact that the HybridDrive has been inspected prior to the project planning of the wind…

A gearbox manufacturer will show a fully tested hybrid drive, which will be connected to the grid by the end of this year. The cooperation between Winergy, W2E (Wind to Energy), and Fuhrlaender during the development of the FL3000 wind turbine is said to have shortened the overall development time for the turbine as well…

The HybridDrive drive combines a wind-turbine gearbox with a generator. Developer Winergy AG says the HybridDrive is significant because it combines a two-stage planetary gearbox and a medium-speed synchronous generator in one relatively compact unit. The drive train is supplemented by a frequency converter. It’s first use will be in the Fuhrländer FL 3000 wind…
