ZF’s advanced technology and service solutions contribute to the transformation of the global energy system, in which reliable, robust and efficient products and systems conserve precious resources. Continuous innovations in R&D, product and service are key in developing renewable energy into a low-cost and reliable power source that is able to meet the changing needs of the power generation industry.
ZF Wind Power develops, together with its partners, unique gearbox designs and services to guarantee the highest quality at competitive costs. This way the team empowers a sustainable future together with its partners.
As a leading innovator, ZF Wind Power invests in a Test & Prototype Center. The center contains the world's most powerful validation test bench needed to develop the next generations of wind turbine powertrains. This state-of-the-art 30 MW test rig can validate complete powertrain systems for onshore and offshore wind turbine applications.
Thrive, ZF's proactive global service concept answers the diversity and dynamics of the wind market and helps wind park operators, OEMs and other partners getting the most out of wind power to successfully stand the competition.
In response to today's wind market revolution, with efforts to reduce subsidy costs and spur efficient innovation into the future, ZF has developed a new kind of wind gearbox - a highly scalable platform, supporting new turbine designs that will innovate our future energy supply.
ZF’s pioneering “Services powered by Analytics” will help reduce the levelized cost of energy. Digital solutions integrated with ZF’s high performance mechanical systems will bring new opportunities to optimize the energy yield and decrease the operational cost of wind farms.
This industry leading torque density allows for lightweight platform gearboxes which can cope with a broad range of high torques and ultimately reduce the levelized cost of energy of wind energy.
