We feel responsible for the future of your
investment.
During its lifetime, a Wind Turbine is subjected
to extraordinary stresses and loads apart from varied ambient conditions.
All of these should carefully be considered, during the design phase to
develop a reliable Wind Turbine.
Suzlon MegaPower Series is the culmination of 30
years of operational experience of running Wind Turbines worldwide.
Innovation, extensive operational experience and feedback from operating
wind parks have helped our R&D centers to design and develop extremely
reliable and technologically superior Wind Turbine Generators. |

Although wind is
freely available, viability of the investment in a wind power
project depends on the efficiency of the Wind Turbine.
Therefore, reduction of energy losses in the system of Suzlon MegaPower Series was the first priority.
A direct
grid-connected high speed generator, in combination with
multiple-stage combined-spur / planetary gearbox of Suzlon MegaPower Series achieves higher efficiency and co-efficient
of power (Cp) values than a low-speed generator connected to
the electrical grid via AC-DC-AC-inverter systems. It delivers
harmonics-free and grid-friendly pure power. |

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. |
