Objective
THE AWEC-60 PROJECT IS BEING DEVELOPED BY A CONSORTIUM OF THE FIRMS (ASINEL, IER, UEF, AND MAN) WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF CONSTRUCTING AND EXPERIMENTING A 1,2 MW WIND GENERATOR. AWEC-60 INCORPORATES A NUMBER OF INNOVATIVE FEATURES THAT INTEND TO REDUCE THE INSTALLATION COSTS OF THE MACHINE AND INCREASE ITS OPERATION FLEXIBILITY. ALL THIS WILL REDUCE THE OPERATING COSTS, MAKING THE 1 MW CLASS AEROGENERATORS MORE COMPETITIVE.
A new process for manufacturing blades for large scale wind turbines in composite materials has been developed. In particular, a set of 3 blades, in glassfibre reinforced polyester (GFRP), 30 m long, has been manufactured for a 1.2 MW prototype wind turbine.
A prototype was made available on 14/11/89
DURING THE YEAR 1988 ALL THE ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN FINISHED AND THE MANUFACTURING OF THE DIFFERENT PARTS HAS BEEN PERFORMED. NEXT ACTIVITY WILL BE ASSEMBLY.
THE ASSEMBLY WILL BE MADE IN TWO STAGES. FIRST IN MADRID AT BOETICHER Y NAVARRO, S.A. WORKSHOP. THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE DRIVE TRAIN SUCH AS SHAFT, SHAFT-BEARINGS AND GEAR-BOX, TOGETHER WITH THE CENTRAL HYDRAULIC OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM WILL BE MOUNTED ON THE BASE FRAME OF THE NACELLE AND THEN TRANSPORTED TO LA CORUNA.
SECONDLY, ALREADY IN LA CORUNA, THE REST OF THE ELEMENTS OF DRIVE TRAIN AND PITCH CONTROL, THE CONTROL SYSTEM, DATA ACQUISITION, COVER STRUCTURE AND HOUSING WILL BE ASSEMBLED IN ANOTHER WORKSHOP.
AFTER THAT, THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO THE SITE AND ERECTED THERE.
