PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATORS: MAXIMUM PROFITABILITY THROUGH DIRECT DRIVE TECHNOLOGY
Why settle for “standard” when you can maximize efficiency and cut costs? Our Permanent Magnet (PM) Generators are the result of years of research & development, specifically perfected for the tough conditions of modern hydropower plants.
Direct drive technology isn’t new, but we apply it where it has the biggest impact. We don’t just talk theory – we optimize every detail at our own facilities to ensure a product built for real-world performance.
The game changer: no more speed conversion
The key to a long-lasting and profitable plant is simplicity. By eliminating mechanical intermediate stages, our PM generators connect directly to the turbine.
Goodbye gears and belts: mechanical transmissions – whether gearboxes or belts – always come with a price: friction losses, constant maintenance and wear-prone parts.
Built for low speeds: the PM generator’s true strength lies in low-RPM scenarios. It is significantly more cost-effective to manufacture and operate than traditional alternatives. You get a robust, high-performance solution without the complexity.
Total reliability: fewer moving parts mean fewer points of failure. Without belts or gears, the risk of unplanned downtime is virtually eliminated.
Whisper-quiet operation: by removing the mechanical whine of a gearbox, we reduce sound pressure levels by more than 20 decibels. This is a major advantage for gaining local authority approvals and community acceptance.
