Renewable Energy

Many applications in the renewable energy sector use Pepperl+Fuchs products. They play an important role in the reliable and efficient design of these systems. Wind energy system operators are concerned with productivity and demand minimum downtimes. Reliable rotary encoders (incremental and absolute) are designed to operate in demanding applications and meet all industry standards.

Pepperl+Fuchs encoders are found in wind energy systems and ensure optimum machine performance and energy output. Data exchange is no problem. Our encoders include the industry’s largest range of interfaces, including CANopen, SSI, AS-Interface, DeviceNet, Parallel interface, and PROFIBUS.

Modern solar power plants are able to operate efficiently with well-engineered control technology. They rely on the feedback of rotary encoders for precise positioning of their tracking systems. Pepperl+Fuchs’ rotary encoders recognize the direction of rotation and determine the optimal positioning angles in relation to the sun.

Realigning the solar panels with the sun maximizes the effectiveness of the energy conversion. The Pepperl+Fuchs rotary sensors recognize the direction of rotation and also determine the optimal positioning angles in relation to the sun.
