The kinetic energy of the wind can be converted into electricity using a device called a wind turbine. The axes of wind turbines can be either horizontal or vertical. Wind farms, which consist of hundreds of thousands of big turbines, generate 650 GWh of power and add another 60 GWh annually. A gearbox is not necessary for the direct drive wind turbine because it is a low-speed generator. Because they lack a gearbox, these turbines have a number of advantages over their traditional counterparts, including being easier to transport and maintain. Most direct drive wind turbines use a permanent magnet type generator due to its high durability and low weight, making it ideal for usage in offshore settings. The expansion of the direct drive wind turbine market is anticipated to be driven by the benefits mentioned above.
There is a subset of wind turbines known as direct drive turbines. One of the cleanest forms of electricity is that generated directly from wind turbines. Energy can be harnessed from the wind by using turbines. By turning the wind into usable electricity, a wide variety of tools and appliances can be run on its output. Blades on a wind turbine are connected to a rotor, which is connected to the turbine's main shaft in order to generate rotational energy. The generator is powered by the rotation of its primary shaft. If even one part of the gearbox's elaborate mechanism wears out, the whole thing stops working. The Direct Drive Wind Turbine uses a gearless design. Because of this, it is more powerful, less noisy, and more efficient. The engine will sustain less damage, lowering the total cost of repairs. Because direct drive turbines are lighter and more cost-effective than conventional wind turbines due to the lack of a gearbox, which reduces weight and eliminates gearbox maintenance problems, the major wind power plant operators have begun to transition from conventional gearbox systems to direct drive systems.
The increasing competition among wind turbine producers is a key factor in the CAGR of the Direct Drive Wind Turbine accessories market. Rising worldwide energy demand is one factor expected to boost sales of direct drive wind turbines in the near future. Industry growth is anticipated due to favourable energy efficiency regulations, rising industrialisation, and a high percentage of renewable energy sources in the power production sector. The primary market driver for direct drive wind turbines is the growing need for clean energy worldwide, which includes policies supporting the adoption of renewable energy by different countries. The low cost of maintenance and absence of moving parts in direct-drive wind turbines will also propel the market for these machines. Rapid technological advances, such as 3D printing, floating wind turbines, and high-capacity wind turbines, could lead to cheaper offshore wind generation. These are also anticipated to provide new expansion opportunities for a wide range of firms looking to set up shop in previously unreachable offshore areas due to a lack of investment and technology.
While there are several advantages to using direct-drive wind turbines, their massive size often necessitates mechanical constraints. Due to the high torque demands, the generator in turbines with capacities between 8 and 10 MW must be heavier and larger. Inadequate bearing specifications, wide tolerances in manufacturing, and flimsy materials are just some of the possible design problems with these turbines. Therefore, many industries that rely on huge generators will likely choose for single-stage gearboxes rather than direct drive. The high price of wind turbines may also be a barrier to market growth throughout the assessment period. The increasing incorporation of cutting-edge technology into these turbines will allow for predictive maintenance and comprehensive condition monitoring. This is expected to significantly reduce operational and maintenance expenses while simultaneously increasing productivity. growing the direct drive wind turbine industry's bottom line.
The rising global demand for energy is one factor that is expected to boost the direct drive wind turbines market share in the future years. The market is expected to grow as a result of rapid industrialization, supportive legislation on energy efficiency, and a significant contribution from renewables to the power generation sector. The price of offshore wind power is expected to drop as a result of rapid technology breakthroughs including 3D printing, floating wind turbines, and high-capacity wind turbines. These developments will also pave the way for expansion potential for a wide range of businesses who are working to launch new offshore locations but lacked the necessary infrastructure and capital to get started before. Predictive maintenance and state-of-the-art condition monitoring are two benefits that are hoped to result from the continued incorporation of cutting-edge technologies into these turbines. It will likely result in fewer expenses for repairs and operations while also increasing productivity.
