  1. A New Wind Turbine Concept

  2. A New Wind Turbine Concept • 1. WinWinD – The Company • 2. WinWinD Wind Turbine (WWD) concept • 3. Benefits of the WWD concept • 4. Next Step: Multi-megawatt Wind Turbine • 5. Contact Information

  3. A Cost-effective Wind Turbine for the Present and Future The newcomer to the field, WinWinD, has created a WWD wind turbine, which offers the most cost-effective production throughout its total life, combined with the lowest operating costs.

  4. History of WinWinD • 1998-99 The development of the new wind turbine concept started together with ABB (Finland) and Metso Drives • 2000 The company WinWinD was founded • 2001 Pilot plant (1 MW) was taken into use • 2002 Industrial production started • 2002-03 Multi-megawatt turbine development and a pilot plant (3 MW).

  5. Case: Oulu Energy • 1 MW wind turbine, WWD-1 • Operational in Oulu, Finland. Since autumn 2001. • Excellent results have been achieved.

  6. Background of WinWinD • Companies behind WinWinD • Powest Oy • A subsidiary of the largest power company in Finland, Pohjolan Voima Oy • Head Future Technologies Oy • Venture capital company, member of the Head Team • The strong ownership provides the solidbasis for the carrying out of wind power projects also on a large scale.

  8. Optimal Energy Production • An automatic control system • controls the generator and network • optimises energy production • High efficiency even with low wind speeds

  9. Grid-friendly Electricity • Constant output above rated wind speed • Low fluctuations, even with partial power • Suitable for a weak grid • Operationalalso in a stand-alone mode • Electricity production is controlled by an IGBT AC inverter.

  10. Cost-effective Maintenance • Minimised production stops • Maintenance friendly concept • fast on-site maintenance • exceptional long maintenance cycle of the components • Unique factory test of the power unit • RESULT: Reliable wind turbine, high availability

  11. Partnership Network • ABB (Finland), Metso (Finland) and others. • Well known component suppliers form the framework of our networked operations. • Continuous technology development investments in co-operation with our partnership network ensure that we retain the lead in this technology field. • Our aim is to have the highest local content possible.

  12. Multi-megawatt Wind Turbine • WinWinD is developing wind turbines with greater output: 2,5–3 MW • 2,5 MW for onshore/inland and 3,0 MW for offshore. • Slow rotation principles will be used. • Pilot starts late 2003.
