The purpose of the project is to conduct a Feasibility Study (phase 1) on the development of a multi-MW generator for the UK onshore wind market. The intention is that when customer requirements are confirmed that GreenSpur will submit a phase 2 application to develop and demonstrate the multi-MW generator. This will result in a new UK generator technology researched, developed, built and tested by a new and high value UK supply chain. The outcome will be of strategic benefit to the wider UK economy, as the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted global supply chains, stalled the deployment of UK wind turbines and exposed a long-term UK reliance on European OEMs. The development of the generator in phase 2 will act as a steppingstone to the UK offshore wind turbine market. GreenSpur's proposed solution is: 1) Highly innovative, as it uses raw materials that are cheaper and more sustainably sourced than this used in current state of the art technologies. 2) Practical and deliverable, as phase 1 will assess and confirm a customer specification and phase 2 will engage with a motivated UK supply chain to develop a confirmed market requirement. 3) Cost competitive solution, as it uses ferrite magnets, which are abundant and cheap, in substitution of a rare earth ones, which are scarce and expensive. 4) A sustainable innovation that will be supported by a new and environmentally clean UK supply chain. The project will address the UK Government's "decarbonising energy, business and industry" theme contained with its Clean Growth Strategy, as GreenSpur's generator has been designed to produce low cost renewable energy from wind turbines. This stated aim of "Ensuring the UK is the Best Place for Low Carbon Innovators" to operate. Consistent with this objective, GreenSpur's generator technology will (1) reduce the cost of offshore wind energy and (2) support the UK's ambition to become a global leader in low carbon innovation. Adopting this approach will leverage private sector investment, create strong international partnerships and create export opportunities. Two secondary themes to the project are: 1) Enhancing the benefits and value of our natural resources, which is achieved by the substitution of rare earth magnets for ferrite within the generator. 2) Climate change adaption and mitigation, which is achieved by increasing the amount of renewable energy generated to offset carbon emissions and contribute to the UK Government's net zero by 2050 target.

该项目的目的是为英国陆上风电市场开发多兆瓦发电机进行可行性研究（第一阶段）。当客户的需求得到确认后，GreenSpur将提交第二阶段的申请，以开发和演示多兆瓦发电机。这将导致一种新的英国发电机技术的研究，开发，建造和测试由一个新的和高价值的英国供应链。这一结果将对更广泛的英国经济产生战略效益，因为新冠肺炎大流行造成的破坏严重影响了全球供应链，阻碍了英国风力涡轮机的部署，并暴露了英国对欧洲原始设备制造商的长期依赖。第二阶段发电机的开发将成为英国海上风力涡轮机市场的踏脚石。GreenSpur提出的解决方案是：1)高度创新，因为它使用的原材料比目前最先进的技术中使用的原材料更便宜，更可持续。2)实用性和可交付性，因为第一阶段将评估和确认客户规范，第二阶段将与有动力的英国供应链合作，以开发确认的市场需求。3)具有成本竞争力的解决方案，因为它使用丰富且便宜的铁氧体磁铁来替代稀缺且昂贵的稀土磁铁。4)一个可持续的创新，将由一个新的和环境清洁的英国供应链支持。该项目将解决英国政府清洁增长战略中包含的“能源、商业和工业脱碳”主题，因为GreenSpur的发电机旨在通过风力涡轮机生产低成本的可再生能源。其目标是“确保英国成为低碳创新者的最佳场所”。与这一目标相一致，GreenSpur的发电机技术将(1)降低海上风能的成本，(2)支持英国成为全球低碳创新领导者的雄心。采用这种方法将撬动私营部门投资，建立强有力的国际伙伴关系，创造出口机会。该项目的两个次要主题是：1)提高我们自然资源的效益和价值，这是通过在发电机内用稀土磁铁代替铁氧体来实现的。2)适应和减缓气候变化，通过增加可再生能源的发电量来抵消碳排放，并为英国政府到2050年实现净零排放的目标做出贡献。
