Empowering a Sustainable Future Together
The wind market continuously evolves and ZF Wind Power answers the fast-growing demand by strengthening its position as a strategic partner by commissioning a 30MW test rig. The successful commissioning of a 30MW test rig for powertrains is essential to address the challenges of the industry. With 10 years of experience in designing modular gearboxes, more than 20 years of experience in designing integrated powertrains and the leading test and prototyping center #ZFWindPower can design, validate and produce the next generation of wind turbine powertrains up to 30 MW. These advanced wind gearboxes and powertrains will accelerate the shift from climate-damaging fuels to clean wind energy.
Industry Leading Test and Prototype Center
Testing allows us to contain the risks inherent to the wind industry and it is essential to receive approval from customers, insurers, and certification agencies in order to launch new designs.
With a length of 60m the installation is able to test the dynamic behavior of the main bearings, the gearbox and the generator on system level in real conditions with functional load tests, dynamics and robustness tests. It covers a maximal torque of 45 MNm, a maximum bending moment of 64 MNm and a maximum axial force of 7 500kN
