Control of the wind turbine
Ensure an optimized operating environment
Gain greater control of the turbine through automation and backup power
Choosing the most efficient wind turbine is the key to success. Schneider Electric offers a fully automated wind turbine with the programmable
logic controller (PLC) and a highly-reliable UPS. They have a very low power consumption, and can be easily modified or upgraded.
As such, the PLC functions as the “brain” of the wind turbine, while the UPS provides the backup power to keep the PLC working — even
when no wind energy is being collected. And with this integrated system, you also enable:
- The ability to gracefully shut down the wind turbine, distribution, and/or collection monitoring and control systems
- The capturing and storing of any information related to the state or failure of the wind power system when an outage occurs
- Heavy reduction in maintenance costs, longer availability of your products, and simplification of the troubleshooting process
- Enhanced safety for the wind turbine, the power grid, and any personnel involved
With complete control of the turbine, you finally get a compact, high-performance solution
