The 4.1-113 is designed specifically for the offshore environment, with reliability and availability as the primary drivers. This machine includes direct-drive technology, built-in redundancy in the generator and converter, and in-situ repair capabilities, providing unique value to offshore wind farm operators. Features & Benefits High reliability and annual energy production with direct-drive design (fewer moving parts): Eliminates downtime due to gearbox faults, maintenance, and exchanges Technology Leader: Industry’s most mature offshore direct-drive technology. In operation since 2005 in harsh near shore conditions Low operating expense: Once a year maintenance cycle maximizes in-situ repair reducing need for large repair vessels Technology based on the experience of 17,000+ onshore units operating globally and 350+ reliability engineers
