A-2000 Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines from AAER Systems

AAER Systems manufactures different models of wind turbines that include the A-1000S, A-1500, 1-1650 and A-2000. The A-2000 wind turbine is a horizontal axis type that comprises three blades. It can be used to utilize wind energy on any type of site. The wind turbine incorporates a synchronous generator that is capable of operating at high voltage conditions of 6.4 kilovolts or even higher. The synchronous generator enables the wind turbine to operate as a stand-alone system too.

This wind turbine from AAER Systems also incorporates a superposition gear or SPG drive train concept that keeps a track of the variable speeds. The torque control system of the A-2000 wind turbine includes the SPG along with individual blade pitch control options. The gearbox ratio of the turbine from AAER Systems is controlled with the aid of an electronic hydraulic governor system. It is this governor system that maintains synchronous generation and also controls the dynamic loads. The torque control system facilitates the A-2000 wind turbine to generate power even at a wind speed of 3 meters per second.

The A-2000 horizontal axis wind turbine also possesses high short-circuit current capability and provides noiseless operation. The silent operation of the turbine is because of its features such as an integrated rotor shaft and robust gearbox.
