Description of the application of TURCK sensor in the wind power industry

TURCK solution
Depending on the three different applications in the wind power industry, TURCK's Uprox+ series of inductive sensors are selected.
1. Pitch (inclination control) system, mainly used to adjust the angle of the paddle itself according to wind, wind speed, wind direction and rotation, so as to maximize the energy conversion. In the process of the rotation of the paddle, the inductive sensor is mainly used to detect whether the rotation angle of the paddle itself is in place. The object under test is an iron block. When in place, a digital signal is output. To ensure that the paddles must be within a certain range of angles.

2. The speed monitoring system mainly detects the current speed of the wind power generation equipment. Also in the process of wind power generation, the speed at which the blades rotate must be within a certain range. The in-situ inductive sensor is matched with the corresponding metal code disc, and the current output speed can be accurately collected through the output frequency of the sensor. For example, in the event of a storm, to avoid damage to the equipment, the speed of the blades should not be too fast. When the output frequency detected by the sensor is too fast, the control system will slow down the device by adjusting the angle of the paddle in the pitch system.

3. Door limit switch system
Mainly used for safety protection. When maintenance is required, the maintenance door is opened, the sensor receives a signal, and all internal mechanical and electrical operations are stopped to protect the safety of maintenance personnel.

TURCK's sensors ensure the quality of our customers' products
1. Wind power equipment is mainly installed in the windy areas of China's central and western regions, and the temperature in these areas is very low. TURCK's Uprox+ series of inductive sensors can withstand extremely low temperatures of -30 °C.
2. The inductive sensor is mounted close to the main generator set. TURCK's Uprox+ inductive sensor has high EMC characteristics and high immunity to interference.
3. The installation environment on site is relatively harsh. TURCK Uprox+ inductive sensor has high protection level of IP68, and even some series can achieve IP68/IP69K high protection level.
4. The innovative Uprox+ sets a new standard for all-metal detection, achieving the same detection distance for all metals and a switching distance of 250% for conventional core sensors.
Due to the remarkable characteristics of TURCK's inductive sensors, it can fully meet the monitoring of the operating status of the equipment in the wind power industry, and can ensure the stable and reliable operation of the equipment and ensure the quality of the customer's products.
