Siemens is showing its software and hardware products for more cost-effective production and more efficient operation of wind turbines at the WindEnergy Hamburg 2014 trade fair.
Siemens can offer an integrated protection concept made up of many individual components to reduce the turbine's downtimes and increases its availability.
For the manufacture of wind turbines, Siemens offers platform concepts that use software tools to accelerate the design process and reduce the number of system components that allow manufacturers to lower their production costs, boost the energy yield of their power plants, and optimize operations.
The Siemens portfolio covers the entire lifecycle of a wind turbine, including planning, engineering, production, and operation. It covers everything from automation, visualization, and control technologies to communications, control circuitry and power distribution for low- and medium voltages, as well as pitch and yaw drives plus generator systems for power generation.
Various power storage solutions, safety technology and fire protection are also included in the portfolio.
On the product side, Siemens offers tested and certified standardized components and software tools with Totally Integrated Automation.
As part of Totally Integrated Power, Siemens is introducing perfectly coordinated protection, switching, measurement, and monitoring devices from the Sentron family for safe and efficient distribution of low-voltage electricity in the wind turbine.
For reliable, efficient feed-in of wind power into the power supply grid, Siemens is exhibiting power distribution and energy automation solutions for wind turbines as well as all the way to the grid connection. Reliable, low-loss power transmission and distribution in the system is made possible by the Sivacon 8PS busbar trunking systems.
