Is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries developing new wind turbines?

In view of this trend, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) is developing new wind turbines. This paper introduces the development and operation of the 1 000 kW wind turbine MWT-1000A which was put into commercial operation in the United States in December 2002, and the MWT-S2000, Japan's first 2 000 kW class wind turbine. 1. Introduction

What is a Mitsubishi wind turbine?

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) launched its development program of wind-turbine power generator in 1980, and has recently developed a new 1000 kW wind turbine (MWT-1000A) for use in low speed wind areas, and a 2 000 kW wind turbine (MWT-S2000) with a synchronous generator.

What is a 2 000 KW wind turbine?

This is the first 2 000 kW class wind turbine developed by a non-European manufacturer, and the world’s largest commercial wind turbine using a perma-nent magnet synchronous generator.

What is a synchronous 2000 kW wind turbine?

(2) Synchronous 2000 kW wind turbine, MWT-S2000 The MWT-S2000 is the latest model of wind-tur-bine power generator (S-series) using synchronous generator. The specifications are given in Table 1 and the structure in Fig. 4. MWT-S2000 has the rotor length of 75 m and tower height of 60 m.

Which large-capacity offshore wind turbine is suitable for low wind speed regions?

Doosan Enerbility developed the WinDS3300 and WinDS5500, and 8MW class large-capacity offshore wind turbine optimized for low wind speed regions was successfully developed and internationally certified at the end of 2022. WinDS3000, 3300 : Suitable for the areas of low wind and applicable to both on/offshore.

What type of wind turbine should be used?

For the time being, the mainstream seems to be the introduction of medium class wind turbines of 1 000 kW to 1 500 kW such as the MWT-1000A which are al-ready recognized as having high technology and economic merits.
