Bajlum

Bajlum is Vattenfall's first onshore wind farm in Denmark to use direct drive turbine technology. The turbines have been erected in the picturesque countryside outside the village of Bajlum on the Salling peninsula. The area is surrounded by the waters of the Limfjord to the west, east and north, and the wind blows almost constantly here.

The Siemens Direct Drive turbine has no gearbox, so it has fewer components than conventional turbines. Without the gearbox, the nacelle housing the generating components is also smaller. These factors make the nacelle lighter and easier to transport, so it is expected to be more economical to maintain throughout its lifetime.
