Motors produced by Nidec can be adapted for wind energy applications that convert the wind’s kinetic energy into a sustainable source of electrical energy. Our motors are designed to act as efficient generators when the motor shaft is rotated by an external force, such as the wind. As the world’s no. 1 comprehensive motor manufacturer, Nidec is well equipped to provide OEMs with the motors they need to meet their power generation requirements. Our AC motor wind turbine generators have been tested to handle forces up to 39 Nm, which corresponds to an output of approximately 6.5 kW.

Nidec also produces AC and DC servo motors that can be integrated into wind energy systems for the control of blade pitch and yaw.

Any motor can be utilized as a generator, although some may require slight modifications to integrate into existing systems and maximize performance. Please Contact Us to discuss your system requirements and determine which wind turbine motor would be best suited for integration into your wind energy system.
