Improving efficiency & enhancing reliability of E/E systems to reduce costs and minimise error in wind turbines

Technological advances in the E/E systems are inevitable to increase wind turbine performance, reliability, efficiency and lifetime. Cost pressure remains a powerful driver for innovations in E/E systems.  Furthermore, higher error rates in the electronic systems of a wind turbine can cause significant economic loss and trigger unplanned maintenance action. 

In order to grow market share and lower the cost of energy , wind turbine manufacturers and the supplier industry need to develop next generation E/E systems in wind turbines that comply with future requirements for on- and offshore applications.

This year`s focus will be on:

  • Discover new pitch systems to reduce loads and optimise the energy yield in high or low winds

  • Review requirements from international grid codes to ensure compliance of the power generation system

  • Explore efficient ways for cost reduction and error minimization of generator andconverter systems for greater wind turbine efficiency and longer lifetime cycles for E/E systems

  • Get the utilities’ view on decreasing maintenance costs with the improvement ofreliability and availability of E/E systems

  • Evaluate tools and standards to manage data and interfaces between E/E systemsto reduce the failure rates of components

In this IQPC networking event, expert presentations are followed by discussions and interactive sessions.
