Will direct drive bring down the cost of energy from large-scale wind turbines? Next week, Siemens Energy will install a highly innovative 3.6-megawatt (MW) direct drive “concept” turbine at a location near Ringkoebing, Denmark, where it will undergo a two-year test period. Renewable Energy World magazine was invited to Denmark to take a look at progress on the assembly of the “concept” and to hear first-hand about Siemens’ key strategies and considerations behind this important project.
