Research Summary

A Direct Drive (Gearless) Wind Turbine is a type of wind energy system that eliminates the need for a gearbox between the turbine's rotor and the generator. In traditional wind turbines, a gearbox is used to increase the rotational speed of the slower-moving rotor to a level suitable for the generator. However, in direct drive turbines, the generator is directly coupled to the rotor, eliminating the gearbox altogether. This design offers several advantages, including increased efficiency, reduced maintenance needs, and enhanced reliability due to the reduction in moving parts. Direct drive wind turbines are often favored for their quieter operation and improved performance in lower wind speeds. While they tend to be larger and heavier than geared turbines, advances in technology have made direct drive systems a competitive and popular choice in the wind energy industry.
