Guide Focuses On Wind Turbine Sensing Technologies

Pepperl and Fuchs has published an application guide on its wind turbine sensing technologies, which are ideal for use in tough environments that experience wide temperature variations and vibration. According to the company, the most important characteristic of any wind turbine sensor solution is reliability, especially given that the turbine could be located 50m in the air, on a remote hill or out at sea.

Developing reliable solutions for these applications often involves exploring new sensing methods, such as yaw position control using an inductive encoder that is impervious to dirt or pitch control using a non-contact magnetic encoder that is shock and vibration resistant. The new application guide highlights the application of a number of new and existing technologies in the wind energy sector.
