Unveiling Insights in the Wind Turbine Generator Market

The wind turbine components include rotor blades, nacelle, gearbox, generator, tower, and pitch system. Generators are one of the most important components of a wind turbine as they help to convert wind energy into electricity. Nacelle consists of components that transform wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical energy to turn on the generator, which produces electricity. The gearbox is used to increase the rotational speed from the low-speed main shaft to the high-speed shaft, which is connected to an electrical generator. Further, the wind turbine generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The wind turbine tower carries the nacelle and the rotor and supports the turbine's structure. The pitch system is one of the crucial parts of the wind turbine as it turns the rotor blades as optimally as possible into the wind, depending on the speed and direction of the wind.

Generators convert the mechanical energy generated from the rotor blades into electrical energy through magnetic fields. In the majority of cases, generators use alternating current to operate at a constant speed that allows them to generate utility-grade 60Hz AC power. Different types of generators, including induction generators (with fixed RPM and variable RPM), doubly fed induction generators (variable RPM), and permanent magnet direct drive generators, are used in wind turbines. They have different features and operational capabilities that are used based on the requirements of wind turbine installation and power generation.

The growing government initiative for adopting wind energy for electricity generation creates lucrative opportunities for the wind turbine generator market. The rising demand for floating wind technology for offshore wind turbines is projected to favor the growth of the market during the forecast period. The technology will help in the development of offshore wind turbines where the water is very deep.
