The prototype test results in Hamina, Finland, where WinWinD’s 3 MW wind turbine factory is located, confirmed the satisfying performance of the Brevini Wind 3MW gearbox.
The gearbox will operate in the new WinWinD 3 turbine, a 3MW onshore turbine with a rotor diameter of up to 120 meters. With a weight of 35 tons the Brevini Wind gearbox is 25 per cent lighter than the gearbox used in the previous WinWinD 3MW turbine. An important advantage of the new gearbox design is found in reduced weight and size. The compact gearbox design enables a reduction in the dimension of the nacelle by 30 per cent allowing an overall reduction in weight and cost of the WinWinD 3 turbine. Erection of the prototype is underway at Raahe, Finland and the field test is scheduled to start by the end of February.
