Most of the large wind turbine (above 1 MW) manufacturers use PMSG or EESG with direct drive WEC's. Are there any working models using IG with direct drive systems?
we have studied wind energy impact from legal, environmental, social and economic items, but we ar not expertise in tecnical factors.
However, it,s a main factor to analyze the environmental impact of different kind of generators, to value the global impact of wind energy.
I think it,s important to know the level of environmmental impact from information provides by the engeniers or the tecnology company that design the generator.
