About Northern Power Systems
Northern Power Systems has over 30 years of experience in developing
advanced, innovative wind turbines. The company’s next generation wind
turbine technology is based on a vastly simplified architecture that
utilizes a unique combination of a permanent magnet generator and
direct-drive design. This revolutionary new approach delivers higher
energy capture, eliminates drive-train noise, and significantly reduces
maintenance and downtime costs. The company currently manufactures the
Northern Power™ 100 turbine, designed specifically for community wind
applications such as schools/universities, businesses, commercial farms,
and municipalities. Later this year, the company plans to launch a 2.2MW
turbine into the utility-scale marketplace for wind farm applications.
Northern Power Systems is a fully integrated company that designs,
manufactures, and sells wind turbines into the global marketplace from
its headquarters in Vermont, USA, with offices in Massachusetts and
Michigan, USA and Zurich, Switzerland.
