ABB offers synchronous wind turbine generators. These generators incorporate the permanent magnet technology and have been designed for medium speed, high speed and direct drive applications. Synchronous wind generators generate output power ranging from 500 kilovolt amperes to 5,000 kilovolt amperes. The number of poles in these generators varies in between 4 and 60 or even more than 60. Synchronous wind generators operate at a maximum voltage ranging from 400 volts to 4,000 volts. The operating speed of the synchronous wind turbine generator ranges from 0 rotations per minute to 2,000 rotations per minute.
