As wind turbines age, sourcing replacement components becomes increasingly difficult due to supply chain constraints and long lead times. Operators face limited options, resulting in prolonged downtime and rising servicing costs. The sector lacks readily available, cost-effective solutions to retrofit ageing turbines and maintain efficiency.

CGEN’s modular, lightweight generator integrates seamlessly into existing turbines, enabling faster, more affordable retrofits. Once operational, only faulty modules need replacing—reducing downtime and extending turbine life. The technology addresses supply chain gaps with scalable, serviceable components that boost reliability and energy yield.

The fault-tolerant, direct-drive design is lighter, scalable and repairable in situ—cutting operations and maintenance costs by up to 50% and reducing the levelised cost of energy (LCoE) by up to 10%. By engineering out unwanted forces, CGEN reduces system mass and component wear, while enabling module-level replacements. No other solution offers this level of maintainability or adaptability to constrained supply chains.
