 Rotor Mechanical design
Diameter 58 m Drive train with main shaft supported by two spherical bearings
Swept area 2,642 m2 that transmit the side loads directly to the frame by means of the
bearing housing. This prevents the gearbox from receiving
Rotational speed Variable 14.6 - 30.8 rpm, towers 55 and 65m additional loads, reducing malfunctions and facilitating its
Variable 16.2 - 30.8 rpm, torre 44m service.
Rotational direction Clock Wise (front view)
Weight (incl. Hub) Approx. 12 T
Top head mass Approx. 35 T
Brake
Aerodynamic primary brake by means of full-feathering blades. In
Blades addition, a hydraulically-activated mechanical disc brake for
emergencies is mounted on the gearbox high speed shaft.

Number of blades 3
Length 28.3 m
Lightning protection
Airfoils NACA 63.XXX + FFA-W3
Material Epoxy reinforced glass fibre The Gamesa G58-850 kW wind turbine generator uses the total
lightning protection system, in accordance with standard IEC
Total blade weight 2,400 kg 61024-1. This system conducts the lightning from both sides of
the blade tip down to the root joint and from there across the
nacelle and tower structure to the grounding system located in
Tubular Tower the foundations.
As a result, the blade and sensitive electrical components are
Modular type Height Weight protected from damage.
2 sections 44 m 45 T
3 sections 55 m 62 T
3 sections 60 m 72 T
Control System
3 sections 65 m 79 T - The Generator is a doubly fed machine (DFM), whose speed and
3 sections 71 m 86 T power is controlled through IGBT converters and PWM (Pulse
Width Modulation) electronic control.
- Benefits:
Gearbox Active and reactive power control.
Low harmonic content and minimal losses.
Type 1 planetary stage / 2 helical stages Increased efficiency and production.
Prolonged working life of the turbine.
Ratio 50 Hz 1:61.74
Cooling Oil pump with oil cooler
Oil heater 1.5 kW Gamesa SGIPE
Gamesa SGIPE and its new generation Gamesa WindNet (wind
Generator 850 kW farm control systems), developed by Gamesa, that allow realtime
operation and remote control of wind turbines, meteorological
Type Doubly-fed machine mast and electrical substation via satellite-terrestrial network.
Modular design with control tools for active and reactive energy,
Rated power 850 kW noise, shadows and wake effects. TCP/IP architecture with a Web
Voltage 690 V ac interface.

Frequency 50 Hz
Protecction class IP 54
SMP Predictive Maintenance System
Number of poles 4
Rotational speed 900:1,900 rpm Predictive Maintenance System for the early detection of
(rated 1,620 rpm) potential deterioration or malfunctions in the wind turbines main
components.
Rated Stator Current 670 A @ 690 V
- Benefits:
Power factor (standard) 0.95 CAP - 0.95 IND at partial loads and Reduction in major corrective measures.

* Power factor at generator output terminals, at low voltage side before transformer input terminals. Integration within the control system.
 Noise control
Aerodynamic blade tip and mechanical component design mini-
mize noise emissions. In addition, Gamesa has developed the
Gamesa NRS noise control system, which permits programming
the noise emissions according to criteria such as date, time or
wind direction. This achieves the goals of local regulation com-
pliance as well as maximum production.
Grid connection
Gamesas doubly-fed wind turbines and Active Crowbar and over
sized converter technologies ensure the compliance with the most
demanding grid connection requirements.
Low voltage ride-through capability and dynamic regulation of
active and reactive power.
