An Enercon MW wind turbine on Flotta in the Orkney isles, Scotland, UK. The enercon turbine is a gearless, direct drive mechanism, used in combination with an annular generator. Also a small scale turbine powering a house. Orkney is particularly suited to wind power as it is an exposed very windy place, and is well on the way to producing all its energy needs from renewables.
