Falcon 1.25 MW

The Next Generation Wind Turbine



The Falcon 1.25 MW wind turbine is characterized by a unique integration of proven and tested attributes with the most innovative features.

The Integrated Tubular Gearbox System (ITGS) is a gearbox solution and is based on an integrated main bearing. This construction minimizes the movement and wear of the permanent magnet generator.

The gearbox and the permanent magnet synchronous generator of the Falcon are very compact systems which are optimized for a mid speed range. This mid speed ring generator (MSRG) shows its true strength in partial load situations because the efficiency remains very high over a wide range.

The rotor blades for the next generation wind turbine were developed in co-operation with experienced partners and come in 62m, 64m and 70m diameter. They are made for all IEC wind classes and are separately controlled by an innovative technology. The real-time structural monitoring at the blade roots will be gathered in a database of a web based Supervisory Control and data Acquisition (SCADA)-system.



Through the modular design of Falcon 1.25 MW it can be installed at sites where infrastructure and climate are challenging. It is so compact that it can be transported in standard size containers.

Furthermore it has been designed for maximum reliability: Sophisticated sensor technology and advanced remote monitoring and control systems together with a large service opening.





As special feature a crane tool can be installed, which is able to handle all heavy machine parts like the generator and gearbox parts and can lift up to 5 tons.

The design of the turbine was governed by minimizing life cycle cost. Fast, efficient and cost effective O&M for the whole lifetime is guaranteed. Through high serviceability the Falcon 1.25 MW is well prepared for future challenges.

The Falcon 1.25 provides an optimum synthesis of cost of energy, logistic and service cost. Peace of mind for the investor is ensured by a full service concept with a 24/7 monitoring and control centre and an “Automated Field Service System” (AFS) providing all relevant turbine data to the maintenance team.
