Speed monitoring of wind power systems using rotary encoders

Monitoring the rotational speed of wind energy plants

Renewable energy, including the application of wind power systems, contributes to climate protection. Monitoring the wind direction and speed is necessary for the economic use of wind power systems.

The adjustment of the rotor blades is assisted by absolute value rotary encoders. Incremental encoders control the rotational speed of the wind power system rotors.

Encoders from Pepperl+Fuchs prevent overloading of the wind power system and support the optimum exploitation of usable energy.
