Recently, the Scottish researchers at Edinburgh University, Institute of Foreign released two C-GEN generators of the prototype. The latest research will greatly enhance the efficiency of wind turbines. The technology can enable a lightweight, direct-drive wind generators installations in the original alternative to the complex gearbox. In addition, the device technology is simple, wear-resistant, easy maintenance. According to reports, the new C-GEN technology allows direct drive 50% lighter than the original, since this will significantly reduce production and operating costs.
As countries committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy sources are also becoming increasingly important. In the past 10 years, the world wind energy turbines market to grow 28% a year, so sustained, rapid growth also shows the countries are to strengthen clean, pollution-free wind energy in the active use.
Edinburgh College of Engineering participate in C-GEN about technology research and development, Dr. MarkusMueller: “The technology to improve the existing system, make it easier to manufacture and to reduce the system weight and cost.” Some experts think that this technology will wind energy more affordable, efficient, and power enterprises to improve efficiency in the use of home wind turbines, the technology eventually Samaranch reform the entire renewable energy industry’s potential.
President of the Scottish business incubator concept EleanorTaylor said: “The development of new generators NGenTec is a large accumulation of real wealth to Scotland, one of the outstanding models. Scottish organization is now an unprecedented opportunity to seize the company’s deployment of resources for the NGenTec, wishing their Scotland to build for a significant economic impact of the company. “
