High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Enercon GmbH, based in Aurich, Northern Germany, is the third-largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world and has been the market leader in Germany for since the mid-nineties. One of Enercon's key innovations is the gearless wind turbine in combination with an annular generator. This is unlike most other wind turbines, which use a potentially less reliable gearbox in order to increase the rotation speed of the generator. Other differences of Enercon's wind turbines are their distinctive drop-shaped generator housings, designed by Lord Norman Foster, and their towers, which are painted with green rings at the base to blend in with their surroundings. As of November 2009, Enercon has installed more than 15,000 wind turbines, with a total power generating capacity exceeding 18.5 GW. Their most-often installed model is the E-40, which pioneered the gearbox-less design in 1992. Enercon has production facilities in Germany, Sweden, Brazil, India, Turkey and Portugal.
