EWT Wind Turbines

Onshore wind turbines
EWT offers a broad product portfolio of onshore wind turbines, which can be categorized in two product ranges: the sub-MW and multi-MW range.

Direct drive
The sub-MW product range of EWT consists of the direct drive 500kW and 900kW wind turbines with 52m and 54m rotor diameters (DW52/54). EWT has optimized the DIRECTWIND sub-MW series during ten years of operational experience. This turbine type boasts a track record of over 400 units operating in many different wind climates and regions spread across Europe, Asia and America, including extreme cold-weather locations such as Alaska.

Higher yields
The combination of advanced control features and proven direct drive wind technology makes EWT’s DIRECTWIND sub-MW range a first-class choice with regard to energy yield and reliability.

Superior availability levels
In EWT wind turbines, the rotor directly drives the synchronous generator without the use of a gearbox. This is important because various independent studies have concluded that malfunctioning of gearboxes is the dominant cause of downtime.

Reduced noise levels
The compact and efficient design of EWT’s direct drive wind turbines and the quiet direct drive technology ensures that EWT turbines blend well into the modern sustainable environment, with very low noise levels, compared to the wind turbines equipped with a gearbox.

Wind technology
EWT’s multi-megawatt range includes a DIRECTWIND 2MW direct drive wind turbine, offered with 90m and 96m rotor diameters (DW90/DW96). According to external experts, the 2MW turbine has a best-in-class cost per kilowatt hour level due to its robust direct drive technology and its relatively low weight.

EWT’s highly qualified in-house engineering team has currently developed a 3MW direct drive turbine, which will be offered with 114m and 121m rotors (DW104/DW114). This 3 MW model will compete in the fastest growing segment in the onshore wind turbine market.
