KEB Control & Automation for Wind Power Infographic

KEB Control & Automation for Wind Power With the rise of offshore wind energy, turbine designers seek scalable automation technologies to combat extreme conditions and maximize output power. Wind turbines are getting larger to improve efficiency & reduce $/MW (energy.gov). 80% of Americans live within 200 miles of the coast, making offshore wind an ideal power source for consumers (cleanpower.org). This shift to larger MW turbines makes wind power increasingly attractive in the U.S. States have established over 29,000 MW of offshore wind procurement targets to date (cleanpower.org). A RISING WIND FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY. Larger turbines require larger drives-and other automation components suited for harsh elements and wide operating conditions. KEB offers robust automation and control solutions to support these demands: P6 Pitch Drives combine the drive, backup charger, monitoring, and PLC into a single, all-in-one solution for wind turbine pitch control. These drives allow for precise control of blade pitches to optimize output power.
