Wind Power Stations
Managing brake energy of Wind Power Stations safely and quickly with an external brake resistor.
Situation
The speed of modern Wind Power Stations are regulated with a pitch system. The system adjusts the work angle of the rotor blades. The adjustment of the work angle causes braking energy.
Problem
The brake energy has to be managed safely and quickly with an external brake resistor.
Goal
Managing brake energy of the pitch system of Wind Power Stations safely and quickly with an external brake resistor.
Solution
Our safe brake resistor BWD1000100 (400 Watt / 100 Ohm / IP65) is connected as an external brake resistor.
Advantages
Managing brake energy
The brake energy is converted safely and quickly
Further Advantages
The rotor blades are moved exactly into the required position
