Client: Seawind
In 2009, Seawind began to develop and design a 2MW wind turbine. The project also included the supervision of the assembly, the commissioning and the certification of the unit. Many design factors were considered, and it was concluded that a conventional three bladed wind turbine with an optimised drive train consisting of a planetary gearbox, three point support, and a new blade design would prove to be a competitive, reliable and efficient product, able to compete on an international market.
Amalgam made two models for the project; the 1:66 scale model seen here, and a 1:20 model detailing the internal motor and blade mounts.
