Traditional Geared Turbine
Complex, high-speed (1800 rpm) drivetrain
problematic:
5% Downtime
Gearbox replacements every 5 years
Efficiency losses due to gear friction & electrically-
powered magnetic field
Failures of large components require expensive
crane & significant downtime
NPS 2.3 PM/DD Turbine Simple, slow-speed (15-20 rpm) drivetrain extremely
reliable:
2% Downtime
No high-speed wear & tear, gearbox replacement
Very high-efficiency … no friction losses and p
y g y permanent
magnets supply magnetic field
Highly modular design allows up-tower swap-outs: no
crane & minimal downtime
Facilitates larger rotors

- 6. NPS PM/DD enables the Lowest Cost of Energy …
Better Energy Capture via Very Large Rotors
Simple load path
Simple powertrain dynamics and harmonics
Simple blade characterization and construction
High efficiency power train and nacelle layout gives
more power, especially at low wind speeds
