Aerogenerator Designed by WEG Is More Efficient and Promises Better Performance in Wind Energy Production

The multinational WEG announced this Monday (4) that it will launch a platform with the largest operational aerogenerator in Brazil. According to the company, the device will have a capacity of 7MW and a diameter of 172 meters to generate wind energy. It is considered even more powerful and capable of delivering greater returns for wind farms.

The innovative equipment will be produced at the factory in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina, where WEG has a strong presence, and will be installed by 2024 in various locations across Brazil. The company highlights that the aerogenerator will be able to provide reactive power even without wind and will also allow for easier assembly. Learn more in today’s article.

New WEG Aerogenerator Has Special Features for Wind Energy Production and Can Provide Energy Even Without Wind

Seeking to capture a larger share of the wind energy market, WEG developed a new model of aerogenerator, different from those used in the current 4.2 MW platform. In addition to being larger and having more power (7 MW), the new model features Medium-Speed Geared (MSG) drive technology, associated with a full power converter. This implies a smoother connection to the electrical grid, prolonging the equipment’s durability and reducing the chances of problems.

The equipment is also flexible and allows adaptation to different grid codes in Brazil, in addition to being able to provide reactive power even without wind, expanding possibilities. Furthermore, the aerogenerator simplifies the assembly process through modularity, which is very useful in uneven terrain.

Production of the Towers and the Aerogenerator Will Take Place in Brazil and the Installation Is Expected by 2024

Another very interesting factor is that the manufacturing process of the new towers and aerogenerator will take place at the factory in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina, where the company is already producing similar equipment. Additionally, the monitoring and fleet analysis center of WEG in the country is located in Jaraguá do Sul.

The entire manufacturing process will be rigorously analyzed by artificial intelligence software that WEG has to detect defects as well as the performance of the equipment under climate conditions. This new prototype of aerogenerator for wind energy is expected to be installed by 2024. The company also indicated that if the tests succeed, mass production of this new model is expected to start in 2025.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
