SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on sizing a wind turbine generator capable of handling a torque of 8,000 Nm. The user AV8TUR seeks assistance in determining the appropriate generator size for wind generators rated at 500 kW, 1 MW, and 1.5 MW. It is noted that a 1.5 MW generator, when rotating at the same speed as the turbine, requires a rotor diameter of approximately 6 meters. The conversation highlights the need for specific torque requirements for both starting and continuous operation of the generators.
