STRESS & LOAD
REDUCTION
A Wind Turbine Generator is
subjected to combination of static, dynamic and peak load induced
stresses.
Static stresses in Suzlon
MegaPower Series are taken care of by a well-balanced weight
distribution design.
Wind-induced dynamic
radial loads are picked up by the separate main shaft bearing which
is integrated into the gearbox housing.
Finally, peak loads are
compensated by a torque-adjustable fluid coupling which also acts
as an excellent vibration separation and shock-dampening device. |

AMBIENT
PROTECTION
In addition to the
mechanical stresses, a Wind Turbine is also subjected to thermal
stresses, moisture, salinity, dusty environments, snow, lightning
strikes and extreme wind conditions.
The components are
hermetically sheltered. The advanced over-voltage and lightning
protection system is in compliance with the International
Standards.
The entire series is
designed according to the Germanischer Lloyd (GL) design standards. |
