Objective Wind energy technology has rapidly emerged into a viable, reliable and competitive energy technology of a major strategic importance. The machines of current class, that is 1.5MW to 2.5MW will be succeeded by the Multi MW class of approximate 5MW rated power. The objective is to develop a 5MW off-shore wind generator for pilot operation.This project proposal is focused on the prototype for off-shore applications, which will differ considerably from land-based concepts. Within this project, the goal is to develop the actual hardware, and to install and operate the prototype for off-shore applications. We will also verify the generator performance in an extended pilot operation with the aim to prepare basic development which will then be used for further industrial exploration.
