Recently, British researchers at the University of Edinburgh Institute of Foreign released the two C-GEN generators of the prototype. The latest research results will substantially increase the efficiency of wind turbines. This technology can enable a lightweight, direct-drive small wind turbine installations in place of the original complex transmissions. In addition, the device technology is simple, wear-resistant, easy maintenance. According to engineer, the new C-GEN technology allows direct drive 50% lighter than the original, This way will significantly reduce production and operating costs.
University of Edinburgh Institute of participation in C-GEN technical R & D, Dr. Miller spoke: “The technology to improve existing systems, make it easier to wind generator manufacture and reduces system weight and cost.” Some experts think that this technology will to make wind energy more affordable, efficient, and power enterprises to improve efficiency in the use of wind turbines, the technology eventually Samaranch reform the whole potential of the renewable energy industry.
