New electrical engineers

GOLIATH Wind has employed five electrical engineers to support our development team.

We will continue hiring specialists of various fields with both academic background and industrial expertise. Next to this, we proceed identifying partners for essential tasks such as specialised contractors for wind farm infrastructure works.

Short circuit test passed

One of our mid-size generators (4.4 metres in diameter) has been exposed to a short circuit test at full speed, i.e. 34 rpm. As expected, the machine has come to an immediate stop. The generator has passed this test successfully and is running for further measurements.

At a short ciruit of all phases, generators experience very high forces. We add wide safety margins to our designs in order to achieve more reliability and longer life-time.

German Lloyd for generator certification

GOLIATH Wind has contracted German Lloyd in Hamburg for certification of its innovative ring generator system.

Partnering with German wind turbine engineering company

GOLIATH Wind has closed a framework agreement with a German engineering company specialised in commercial wind turbine design.

While focussing on our innovative drive train, our competent partner will support the completion of the GOLIATH 3-100 wind turbine.
