The compact generator aims to increase torque density (targeting >100 kNm/kg at 2 MW scale), maintain high efficiency, and reduce critical raw material use and environmental impact. Fraunhofer IWES develops validation and testing procedures to assess torque transmission, thermal behavior, and operational performance under realistic operating conditions. The test setup is intended to raise the technology readiness level by providing data to validate simulations, optimize the design, and demonstrate the generator’s suitability for next-generation MW-scale wind turbine applications.
