Promotional video about Enercon wind turbines. Provides educational overview on commercial wind turbine projects from commissioning to manufacturing and after-sales
I agree. I just joined to build the largest windmill in the world. Everything is over oversize. Safety is paramount, then production time. I am pretty awestruck.
@@plurplursen7172 He we went to the moon...... and look what instruments they have in the medical world..... far more complicated than a wind turbine...
@@johnvanvliet2076 You are not an astronaut or a doctor, and you don't know anything about windmills. 1 mill can harvest 10 millions watt. Perspective is really a bitch.
Very good design and business model. The direct-drive synchronous generator is a proven technology and you have built a great project around it. Thanks for sharing this video.
The turbines you see in this video are asynchronous generators. That was before direct drive was cool and every manufacturer started building synchronous generators. Sadly Enercon had to change to this design too. Their newer models don’t look good anymore.
But it does NOT address the issue, this is just the engineering aspect of a product, that is all. I was in the High Arctic and they installed a ugly windmill, it broke down...... back to a generator plant....
John Van Vliet Enerconn exists since a long time and they have a lot of experience, also with espionage from the US that almost killed them. They started when energy companies laughed about wind energy,, in 1984. they really deserve to be among the best worldwide.
@@AndreasDelleske I am not disputing the eng Firm but the policy of the Government if they want a good source of energy use nuclear power far more reliable and cheaper the turbine energy, and it does not kills thousand of birds every year or is unsafe.....for humans
Love the concept of Enercon turbines. It's a shame that they aren't in the offshore market. Would have been cool seeing a 12MW+ turbine from them. Direct drive turbines are an amazing concept and hopefully it will become dominant .
Enercon seem to have all the bases covered, if this excellent presentation is anything to go by. Congratulations to the teams responsible for the video and the product. One question; What is the life expectancy of a typical turbine?
Addressing some points in the comments: Industrial sized wind turbines with a service life of around 20-25 years tend to pay for themselves in a few years or so, depending on local schemes, wind speeds, generation rates etc, and the costs are shrinking globally at an unprecedented rate as experience is gained and designs refined. Energy from solar and wind is abundant, it won't run out like fossil fuels and nuclear materials will and we can use as much as we want, so in that respect it is 'free' as in 'free to use as we please', extracting it, converting it into a useful form and transporting it is not free and will always come at a cost. Within 5 years, renewable energy coupled with storage systems are going to be cheaper and cleaner than any current generation method, all the while addressing the climate issue. Did you know the global fossil fuel industry takes approximately $5 Trillion in subsidies annually? That's your taxes they are taking with one hand and astronomic bills for the energy you use with the other, bills that fluctuate depending on what another country happens to be doing at the time. Wind energy is on the brink of being completely subsidy free in some countries and cheaper than any other method of generation, not to mention more nationally and defensively secure. Can you imagine how much electricity we could produce with renewables for $5 Tn a year and what we could do with that electricity?
@@Glenn631956 Source please! Last time I checked on shore wind turbines, at least in Germany, operate at market prices. When you look at levelized cost onshore wind is currently cheaper than nuclear, coal and gas.
In reply to those saying the generator is inefficient, should have used permanent magnets. The first problem is that it would be incredibly expensive to use neodymium magnets of that size. Second is that permanent magnets obviously have a fixed field strength. This means less control over the output of the generator. Possibly resulting in it being operated inefficiently at certain wind speeds. Another issue is that neodymium magnets are highly susceptible to serious corrosion. Coatings help prevent this but on something that is moving most of the time this could fail over the years. In the end why get too obsessed by efficiency when the fuel source is free. What matters more is reliability and its ability to continue giving an output during high wind speeds.
In all the reliability is low. It has very low output and costs a fortune to maintain. Also it uses some of the most hazardous materials to make. And serious energy to produce. So a blade might cost us a year in energy just to make? Real efficient.
It depends on the location but in the right place a wind turbine soon pays off the energy used to make it. You are correct about the use of materials but wind is an important part of the renewables mix for the moment anyway. What a lot of people forget is that energy efficiency is the number one priority. Reduce the demand and we don't have to build as much of everything.
In theory the generator could be made with super conductors and kept an some stupid cold temperature requiring most of the turbines output. Or what works so much better in the real world is to accept that it will never be very efficient but its far simpler and works sufficiently for our needs at the moment.
First I thought, waaaiiiit a minute. The speaker sounds like Steve Taylor (the one from _Kurz gesagt - In a nutshell_ ). After reading the first comment I know that I'm right :D I really like Steve's smooth voice.
there are a bunch of retired wind turbines both by mojave and near cabazon . i would think that since the towers still exist that it would be a great chance to retrofit new turbines and blades to the top of the existing towers saving hundreds of thousands of dollars of base, tower and grid installation
"Enercon MPU"... is actually a Siemens Development kit board, with Winbond eeprom. the programming may be developed in-house, but that controller board is not.
I think that The so-called annular generator by Enercon. It is the multi-pole WRSG with DC exciter mounted outside the rotor shaft. This topology can be implemented without the need for a gearbox by incrementing the number of poles of the rotor. The increasing on the number of poles implies a large generator diameter as seen in the video., resulting in a machine of larger dimensions. As the machine is gearless and low speed, they are right to claim low noisy. I think that it is direct - driven annular generator. The interesting feature of this machine is the DC controllable exciter which allows the rotor flux to be controlled for various purposes such as filed weakening strategies. My question is that what Enercon think about Type 5 Variable Speed WTG system?

There was a video like this that was deleted probably because of copyright but the music used in the video was so good I just can’t remember the name :(
ok, no gearbox and only two bearing, semplified electrical part, high efficiency... but how they do to guarantee electrical output at mains frequency? they must have a lot of inverters or there are other solutions?
1:13 7.5 Megawatts! Holy crap, that is a lot of power! I wonder how much wind it needs to reach that output? I guess it wouldn't necessarily need all that much, provided the propellor is large enough. Just a thought...if you had field of these, I wonder if you could run them in reverse as motors and produce enough wind to change the weather? :-)
@Michael, do you know anyone from Enercon directly? I am interested in some potential H2020 project for a new method to manufacture wind turbine blades, so if you have any direct contact with the company please let me know.
I also like like how the towers are painted, green gradations fading into white, helps them blend into the countryside a little better. Maybe the blades could be painted a light blue so they would less visible from a distance
Now I know why I just heard that Germany is eliminating all but two nuclear power plants. Those are still available as backup in case there's energy shortages.

You should focus on solar energy. Or thermal energy. both already have unlimited energy and are less invasive and also less expensive.
It depends on the location but in the right place a wind turbine soon pays off the energy used to make it. You are correct about the use of materials but wind is an important part of the renewables mix for the moment anyway. What a lot of people forget is that energy efficiency is the number one priority. Reduce the demand and we don't have to build as much of everything.
I'm not talking about rare earth's. I'm talking about a total redesigned gen head. these types of heads are stupid inefficient.

It is very interesting how wind energy is growing but hollow concrete pillar may reduce cost .
Masum Anwar they’re switching to steel already for most of the tower.
Gear less is easily done. It should be mainstream. Simply add or remove segments to adjust to energy received.
