Two exceptional innovations<br />
Direct Drive<br />
• Direct Drive generator enables direct connection<br />
between the rotor and the generator without a gearbox<br />
• Optimum production efficiency and reliability due to<br />
elimination of gearbox losses<br />
• Low generator losses as result of permanent magnet<br />
• Reduced maintenance costs<br />
Hywind<br />
• Cooperation on technology with Statoil Hydro to<br />
develop World's first floating off-shore installation<br />
• <strong>Siemens</strong> will deliver (2009) the first wind turbine for the<br />
demonstration unit, which will be positioned off the<br />
coast of Norway<br />
• Floating offshore turbines could be installed at sites<br />
with greater water depths<br />
• Reduced visual impact and increased power<br />
production due to strong and stable wind conditions<br />
