In part two of our brand new video series a wind park manager explains how BLADEcontrol® rotor blade condition monitoring simplifies his life without losing sight of the big picture.
Learn from part one of our new video trilogy how BLADEcontrol® condition monitoring and ice detection contributes to your daily work towards the energy transition.
High efficiency with less risk: this objective can be achieved easily and safely with BLADEcontrol®. Regardless of the turbine type: BLADEcontrol® reliably monitors the condition of the rotor blades and ensures optimum availability.
If you know more about the operation of your systems, you can sustainably increase efficiency. With BLADEcontrol® you can determine where best to start with optimizations. Get to know the potential of our condition monitoring systems and make your plant more intelligent.
Transparent processes reduce the risk of expensive repairs and increase the economic efficiency of the entire wind turbine. Our ice detection system is the best example of this. Use BLADEcontrol® to detect faults and damage quickly and always keep an eye on your rotor blades due to continuous condition monitoring.
The planning and execution of maintenance and repair work is particularly time-consuming and costly for offshore installations. With BLADEcontrol® you can anticipate impending damage and react before it occurs. In this way, you achieve higher system availability and minimize the need for repairs. We will gladly support you with our know-how in the field of monitoring.
BLADEcontrol® continuously records the condition of each individual rotor blade and detects even the smallest changes. The risk of expensive repairs is reduced and the economic efficiency of the entire wind turbine increases.
Your advantages with BLADEcontrol® at a glance
BLADEcontrol® means reliable ice detection. The highly sensitive system protects against ice throw and automatically restarts the system after defrosting in accordance with certification. BLADEcontrol® enables web-based condition monitoring and stores measurement data for later evaluation.
BLADEcontrol® guarantees a reduction in unplanned downtimes as well as the safe and efficient operation of your systems. Operating deviations such as imbalances and overloads can also be reliably detected.
BLADEcontrol® supports you in detecting even the smallest damage to the rotor blade at an early stage - e.g. blade tip damage caused by lightning strikes, trailing edge cracks, web separation, or blade bearing damage. We will gladly present the possibilities to you.
BLADEcontrol® supports you in detecting even the smallest damage to the rotor blade at an early stage - e.g. blade tip damage caused by lightning strikes, trailing edge cracks, web separation, or blade bearing damage. We can also calculate your return on investment for the BLADEcontrol® Condition Monitoring System in a personal session.
Due to simple assembly steps, BLADEcontrol® can be installed or optionally retrofitted onto existing wind turbines in no time at all. An installation-specific system adaptation can be performed easily and at any time based on the close, successful collaboration with Weidmüller.
Read our success story on six LEITWIND turbines of the type LTW80 1.65MW Typhoon on Guadeloupe that have been equipped with the BLADEcontrol® rotor blade monitoring system.
Condition monitoring plays an important role in every industry. Especially in the wind sector, the continuous monitoring and analyses of data is a crucial success factor. Specific installation concepts and the optimal use of systems within the wind plants require reliable and futureproof solutions. Get a short overview about Weidmüller's innovative Condition Monitoring Systems for the wind industry, and explore our products and solutions.
"Thanks to the permanent monitoring with the BLADEcontrol® Condition Monitoring System and based on the long-standing experience gained at roughly 200 of our offshore installations, we have already been able to enjoy multiple benefits from the measured data and data analysis, and have increased our system availability. We have enjoyed a trust-based partnership with the Dresden-based company since 2006, and we look forward to continuing our successful collaboration in the future"
"As an operator, we, wpd wind manager GmbH & Co. KG from Bremen, are responsible for about 2,000 wind turbines worldwide. Our most important tasks in the management of wind farms are the optimization of plant operation and the reduction of downtime. By using the BLADEcontrol® ice detector, we ensure safe operation of our wind turbines - even in the cold season. When implementing the system, Weidmüller Monitoring Systems GmbH is a trustful and competent partner, who meets our demands and requests very individually and thus supports us to continue optimizing our wind farms."
"The BLADEcontrol® ice detection system saves a significant amount of working time and generates considerable cost reductions to VENSYS Energy AG and our customers. We got rid of many telephone calls and trips to the wind farms that were necessary when using conventional ice sensors on the nacelle roof. Just as the yield of the installations has increased, the safety of the turbines has also improved as a result of the direct measurement of ice build-up on the rotor blades. Weidmüller Monitoring Systems GmbH has also demonstrated its interest in other areas too, such as the research and development of potential new uses for the systems, and is a reliable partner for us. We will of course continue to build on this collaboration in the future."
