Wind turbine manufacturer Norvento
has unveiled a re-engineered model
of its nED100 turbine incorporating
innovations that both increase its effi-
ciency and reduce its generation costs.
The new 100kW unit's direct drive
permanent magnet generator is now
lighter and more compact, tailored to
the operational demands of the UK
climate. While maintaining the high
performance of the original, it uses a
more traditional nacelle design and
the generator is placed immediately
behind the rotor, with a smaller sha.
In addition, the optional new 12m
blade design, optimised for Class III
low wind conditions, eliminates the
extenders that were deployed on the
Light wind
