Wind turbine gearboxes are one of the major reliability problems
for wind energy operators and cause expensive maintenance and
repair jobs when failures occur, particularly in offshore wind
farms. Gearless direct drive wind energy systems present a
potential solution to these problems, improving both reliability
and energy conversion efficiency through simplified design.

The editors and contributors present a comprehensive reference on
the design and operation of direct drive wind energy systems
along with applications to direct drive marine renewable energy
systems. The initial sections cover the fundamental design issues
related to direct drive renewable energy devices, and their
interconnection into transmission networks and review the impact
on design of performance testing, monitoring and characterization
techniques. Final sections cover the construction, operation and
maintenance issues of direct drive wind and marine energy systems
installation and look to the future developments and
opportunities for application of this technology.
