Wind turbine generator 5MW

How many homes can a 5 MW wind turbine power?

1 A single 5-MW wind turbine can supply enough energy annually to power 1,250 average American homes. The Multibrid M5000 machine has a significantly higher tip speed than typical onshore wind turbines and a lower tower-top mass than would be expected from scaling laws previously developed in one of the WindPACT studies .

What is the rated power of a 5 MW generator?

With the rated generator speed of 1173.7 rpm, rated electric power of 5 MW, and a generator efficiency of 94.4%, the rated mechanical power is 5.296610 MW and the rated generator torque is 43,093.55 N•m. We defined Region 11⁄2 to span the range of generator speeds between 670 rpm and 30% above this value (or 871 rpm).

How much power does a GE wind turbine have?

The four models have different rated powers: 750 kW, 1.5 MW, 3.0 MW, and 5.0 MW. The 1.5-MW model was developed based on the GE 1.5s wind turbine, and the other three models were created by linearly scaling the airfoil characteristics for the 1.5 MW model to the different rotor sizes.

Does Hitachi have a 5MW wind turbine?

Hitachi has increased the rated power of the new HTW5.2-136 5MW-class wind turbine system to 5.2MW by optimizing its setup and control programs.

What is a REpower 5M wind turbine?

This wind turbine is a conventional three-bladed upwind variable-speed variable blade-pitch-to-feather-controlled turbine. To create the model, we obtained some broad design information from the published documents of turbine manufacturers, with a heavy emphasis on the REpower 5M machine.

Which wind turbines have a 5-MW rating?

At the time of this writing, the largest wind turbine prototypes in the world—the Multibrid M5000 [5,21,22] and the REpower 5M [18,26,27]—each had a 5-MW rating. We gathered the publicly available information on the Multibrid M5000 and REpower 5M prototype wind turbines.
