Danotek’s PM generator has had initial successful up-tower operation by a wind turbine OEM. The milestone, which represents the first up-tower validation of Danotek’s PM generator technology, was accomplished following extensive in-house testing at the Danotek facility and installation into a Minnesota-based multi-megawatt wind turbine.
The installation and testing of Danotek’s PM generators is being conducted in conjunction with the Eolos Wind Research Project, a wind research consortium formed by the University of Minnesota, Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, and the University of Maine. The initial operation of the PM generators is a prelude to a comprehensive field test procedure that will continue into early 2012. Upon passing the three to four month up-tower test program, work on delivering an initial volume of PM generators is expected to commence.
