Offshore Wind HTS Generators

Technical Overview

Direct-drive HTS generators represent a significant leap in renewable generation, successfully eliminating the need for heavy, multi-stage gearboxes commonly used in offshore wind turbines.

Our HTS field windings efficiently generate 3-5 Tesla in the airgap versus just 1T for standard permanent magnets. This key difference allows for dramatically smaller generator diameters while still maintaining the exact same peak power outputs.
