Wind power is one of the main pillars in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Acheiving renewable energy goals requires more than a mere increase in the number of wind turbines. Their service life and performance must be optimized as well. Encoders and sensors support this optimization throughout the manufacturing, operating and maintenance processes by delivering high-accuracy position, speed and load data for a wide range of wind-turbine components.
Solutions for wind turbines
Wind turbines may look similar on the outside, but the way they generate power behind the walls of their nacelle varies.
Wind turbines equipped with a gearbox can leverage the many benefits of a high-speed generator. These generators are compact and rotate much faster than the rotor. The results are greater efficiency and an electrical frequency that matches the power grid.
Wind turbines without a gearbox are more compact and contain fewer moving parts. But these benefits are offset by an expensive ring generator requiring ever greater weight for higher performance. Even for these generators, we provide relialbe and easy-to-install modular encoders with very large diameters.
