With the WinDrive, Voith Turbo offers wind turbine manufacturers an innovative drive train component that converts a broad range of input speeds into constant output speed. This enables the device to generate electricity just as effectively as a conventional power plant, reliably and converter-less – without placing a strain on the network.
WinDrive
