Wind Turbine Design
Maximising wind energy yields and reliability for the best possible value
SMT provides engineering design and consultancy services that cover the complete development cycle of wind turbine drivetrains. Our extensive engineering experise in transmission and gearbox design as well as analysis and manufacture simulation makes us the strategic partner of choice for developing innovative wind turbine systems.
Key benefits of SMT designs
- Maximise system efficiency and output capabilities
- Long durability – high and up to date safety factors for critical system components
- Lower NVH levels for smoother running and longer lasting components
- Low manufacturing cost – by using standard bearings, standard cutters, simple assembly methods, light weight components and maximising tolerances.
- Low maintenance cost – reusable ring gears, easily replaced on the nacelle and maximised use of commonly available components.
