Inverter drives key to wind power
Article Abstract:
Inverter controlled winches are able to accurately and maintain pull forces of upto 40 tones in order to test the mechanical behavior of wind turbine blades up to 70m long. The equipment is installed at the New and Renewable Energy Center (NaREC) at Blyth in Northumberland where the drives communicate with the supervising Rockwell Automation PLC through a DeviceNet network.
