We connect industry and researchIncreasing cost pressure is determining the day-to-day business of manufacturers of wind turbines and their components. Progress in this regard, for example in the form of significant increases in transmission power density, is currently being implemented. In this context, manufacturers are increasingly taking advantage of the space advantages of plain bearing technology for gearbox and rotor bearings.
Site-specific requirements lead to rapid growth in the variety of systems with ever shorter development cycles. As a result, the right product structure with clever use of variants and modules is becoming increasingly important, as is sufficiently agile product development and the use of digitalization. In addition to powertrain-specific developments, the improved sounding of sites also offers the potential to increase annual energy yields.
We use semi-annual CWD workshops to discuss research ideas and initiate projects. We cordially invite you to participate in these workshops. Currently, about 20 industry partners from energy supply companies, OEMs, component manufacturers and service providers are involved in these workshops as members of the CWD.
The second major platform for the presentation and discussion of our research and development results is the Conference for Wind Power Drives, which takes place every two years. Here, the CWD, together with its industrial partners and other national and international market participants, will present the latest research and technology in the drive train of wind turbines.
Become part of this community and benefit from the interdisciplinary solution to the complex requirements in the drive train of wind turbines.
