Market leader ABB serves manufacturing, process and
consumer industries, utilities, the oil and
gas sector and infrastructure markets,
with 160,000 employees in more than
100 countries.
Building on over one hundred years design
experience and application understanding,
ABB is the world's leading manufacturer of
low and high voltage AC motors and
generators. Today our products are widely
used in virtually every industry worldwide.
Experience
ABB has been manufacturing generators
for wind turbines for more than 20 years.
Today, our customers can benefit from
the experience gained from over 8.000
installed ABB generators world-wide.
We supply generators for both stall and
pitch regulated wind turbines with output
ranging from 55 kW up to 3 MW and more.
ABB's wind turbine generators are
designed to IEC standards, for severe
environmental and varying wind conditions,
with exceptionally high performance
values.
Our converter technology has been leading
the development since the 70's and our
knowledge in manufacturing slip ring
machines goes back for decades.
The ABB global research power and our
long experience in synchronous machines
has been utilized in the new permanent
magnet generators specially for offshore
applications.
