Wind Turbine Solution | Control of the Wind TurbineEnsure an optimizedoperating environmentGain greater control of the turbinethrough automation and backup power20%The steady growthrate for wind energyover the last 10 years.This is expected tocontinue through2012 and beyond.> 42The number ofcountries thathave some renewableenergy policy in placetoday. This is expectedto climb rapidly as focuson climate change,dependence on foreignenergy sources, andthe cost of energyincreases.Efficiency alone can be the differencebetween a successful wind turbine and onethat fails to produce. So, why would youchoose anything but the most efficientsolution for your installation?Schneider Electric fully automates thewind turbine, using such products asthe Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) anda highly-reliable UPS. Together, they form adynamic and rugged system which has verylow power consumption, and can be easilymodified or upgraded.As such, the PLC functions as the “brain” ofthe wind turbine, while the UPS provides thebackup power to keep the PLC working — evenwhen no wind energy is being collected. Andwith this integrated system, you also enable:>> The ability to gracefully shut down thewind turbine, distribution and/or collectionmonitoring and control systems> > The capturing and storing of any informationrelated to the state or failure of the windpower system when an outage occurs>> Heavy reduction in maintenancecosts, longer mean time betweenfailure, and simplification of thetroubleshooting process>> Enhanced safety for the wind turbine, thepower grid, and any personnel involvedWith complete control of the turbine, you finallyget the kind of compact, high-performancesolution that only comes from a provider withdecades of expertise in automation. Finally, youcan optimize your efficiency to get the resultsyou’ve been looking for.Finally, you can optimize your efficiencyto get the results you’ve been looking for.10 | Schneider Electric Solutions for Wind Power
