Wind energy solutions

Customer-specific solutions for the wind industry

The wind industry energy sector today is faced with the challenge of meeting growing profitability requirements. Turbine manufacturers are continuously seeking possibilities to reduce their LCOE (levelized cost of energy). Weidmuller meets this demand with reliable components and customized solutions to cut down on capital and operational expenditures. Other trends include condition monitoring systems and data driven business models like Data Analytics. In these fields of automation and digitization Weidmuller is able to provide tried and tested solutions to reduce downtimes and increase yield.

Product highlights for wind

BOLTcontrol – Bolt breakage detection system for wind turbines

Monitor blade bearing bolts safely, continuously, and easily

BOLTcontrol is a monitoring system that detects broken bolts in wind turbines. The system prevents consequential damage as broken bolts are held securely in place.

Prevention of consequential damage
Ensure safe continued operation
Quick and easy to retrofit

AI-based anti-collision system for wind turbines

Weidmüller is supplying customized enclosure solutions for ProTecBird’s AI technology for bird protection at wind power installations.

BLADEcontrol® Condition Monitoring Services

“For an offshore turbine in the 12 MW class, the loss of revenue per day amounts to approx. 18.000 euros. In the case described above, the downtime could be reduced by 50 to 70 days through preventive damage detection – compared to a potential blade loss.”

The power of the future: Weidmuller equips DemoSATH floating wind turbine

Weidmuller designed the interior lighting system exclusively for DemoSATH: The tower, nacelle and the accessible part of the floating body are equipped with an integrated lighting system consisting of LED sets for regular interior lighting.

Lanthan Safe Sky and Weidmuller are sustainably retrofitting wind power installations

The retrofitting of wind farms with so-called “Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems” (ADLS) is coming along at a fast pace. Weidmuller and Lanthan Safe Sky are sustainably retrofitting wind power installations.
