Medium speed concepts:<br />

- high partial load efficiency<br />

- high drive train full load efficiency of 94%<br />

(gearbox >98.0%; generator 98.3%;<br />

frequency converter 97.5%)<br />

⇒ high energy yield at high average<br />

wind speeds<br />

Medium-speed concepts: High efficiency leads to high energy yield<br />
