Ferrstron Onshore Wind Design Concept
HIGH AND MEDIUM SPEED GENERATORS
Technology
- Power 1 MW to 4.5 MW
- High Speed Version: 1400 to 1600 rpm (can be customized)
- Medium Speed Version: 400 rpm (can be customized)
- High Efficiency, up to 98.5%
- Dual Rotor Single Stator, Axial Flux or Radial Flux Configurations

Business Benefits
- Low cost
- Weight savings of more than 8x in comparison to DFIG technologies
E.g. 2MW generator weight just 850 kg (DFIG weighs 7.5 tons)
- Savings in maintenance costs due to reduced gearbox failures
Reduced Gearbox Failures
- Gearbox and Generator integrated into the same casing
- Synchronized oscillations of the Powertrain components reduce failure
