    The document describes the VENSYS 70/77, a new gearless wind turbine in the 1.5 MW class from REGEN POWERTECH. It has a direct-drive synchronous generator for high efficiency and reliability compared to competitors using geared systems. The generator, frequency converter, pitch and safety systems are explained as having fewer simpler components than traditional designs. Test results show the VENSYS turbine achieves over 94% efficiency and produces 3-5% more energy annually through its direct-drive permanent magnet design.

    The presentation discusses different generator and drive train systems for wind turbines, focusing on the gearless VENSYS technology which uses a direct-drive synchronous generator. It highlights the advantages of this technology over geared systems in terms of efficiency, reliability and maintenance.

    The two competing systems for variable-speed wind turbines discussed are geared drive with doubly-fed induction generators, and direct-drive synchronous generators.

    Some of the advantages of direct-drive synchronous generators compared to geared systems discussed are fewer components, higher reliability, no gearbox losses/maintenance/noise, higher partial load efficiency, no generator slip rings/brushes, and low voltage low speed reliable generator rotor.
