EWT is a global designer and manufacturer of direct drive wind turbines active in Europe, North America and Asia. EWT was established in 2004 and is based in the Netherlands. The company has an extensive product line, an engineering department covering all relevant disciplines and a dedicated service and maintenance organisation. Direct Drive Technology In EWT wind turbines the rotor directly drives the synchronous generator, without the use of a gearbox. This is important because various studies have concluded that the dominant cause of downtime is malfunctioning of gearboxes. The generated energy is fed into the grid via a modern back-to-back full-power converter which controls the output, so grid requirements can be met. This makes the DIRECTWIND turbine suitable to operate in weak grids.
