Wind Turbine GS 21 S
Power 60 kWp

GS 21 S - 60 kWp

The best wind turbines,

without compromise.

In order to exploit the kinetic energy contained in the

wind and convert it into electricity, a Wind Turbine
uses different mechanical and electrical components.
In particular, the rotor (pitch and hub) extracts energy
from the wind and convert it into mechanical energy
and constitutes the first engine of the Wind Turbine
while the conversion of mechanical energy into
electricity is carried out by an electrical generator
according to suitable settings.
In summary, these are the main components that make
up a Greenstorm Wind Turbine with a horizontal axis,
direct drive.

General information

The GreenStorm Wind Turbine GS 21 S is equipped with a rotor of 22,2 m

diameter and a nominal power of 60 kW.
The rotor is a three-bladed with horizontal axis upwind and active
control system.
The GreenStorm Wind Turbines have been designed and manufactured
in accordance with IEC-61400/1 for wind class 1 A. This applies to all the
components produced by GreenStorm directly or in cooperation with
qualified suppliers, ABB on top of them. The Certificate information are
available on site.

Braking system and hydraulic system

The main braking system of the GreenStorm Wind Turbines is aerodynamic, the rotation
of the blades through the pitches allows a quick stop, gradual and without stress for the
Turbine and the system itself. It has been also provided an emergency braking system:
a disc brake has been directly installed on the generator with passive hydraulic pliers; in
case of emergency, the brake caliper will activate, even in the absence of energy.

Rotor
The GreenStorm Wind Turbine 21 S is
regulated by the pitch control.
The blades are built with high performance
reinforced glass fiber; the attack angle of
the blades can be adjusted in function of the
rotation speed and depending of the wind
speed. The pitches control can also work
as aerodynamic brake in order to stop the
rotation of the machine.
The lightning rod system is built into the
structure and protect all the system from
root to tip.

GS 21 S - 60 kWp
Monitoring system
The control system is based on a PLC ABB and allows the managing and the remote
control of the entire Wind Turbine i.e. the monitoring of all the turbine functions,
such as the start-up procedure, the stop, the following wind and to adjust the power of
the generator; in particular this is achieved by adjusting the position of the pitch (PITCH
function) that can be controlled independently from one another.
The monitoring system allows you to store a very large number of parameters: Data
are processed by protocols which depend on the type of grid connection available on
the site where the Wind Turbine would set up.

System of electrical connection

The conversion system of the electric power is composed of two inverters: the first,
on the generator side, is an ABB ACS800 drive that offers everything needed for
a complete and reliable frequency converter. The frequency converter technology
named ACS800 is based on the system DTC (Direct Torque Control) which combined
with the braking chopper, offers high performance and a number of benefits, such as
precision static speed, dynamic and the exact torque control.
The second inverter, on the network side, is an ABB PVI-67.0 WIND inverter with
a power conversion performance that reaches the 98%. The high performance
together with the channels of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) at high speed,
guarantees and optimizes the energy harvest in a wide range of operational conditions.
The whole system, including the electrical components, is supplied by ABB. It s also an
isolation transformer, which isolates the generator Greenstorm by the network itself.
The grid feed system is able of transmitting power according to the CEI 0-21 rules.
