Wind energy
Safe, efficient automation of wind turbines
|
| |
|
|
As automation experts we provide solutions for monitoring all the relevant safety functions on wind turbines. Many years of experience from the field of industrial automation have helped us to understand the requirements of a wind turbine. Solutions for many wind turbine manufacturers worldwide are tailored specifically to the industry and argue the case for Pilz.
|
|
Safe automation is shaped by a comprehensive world of standards. The wind energy sector also has standards and regulations which demand that safety measures are taken when automating a wind turbine.
These include IEC 61400 as well as the Machinery Directive in Europe.

Guarantee the safety of man and machine through solutions
|
Even on a wind turbine, the protection of man and machine is absolutely indispensable. Pilz provides solutions for safe speed monitoring on the rotor and generator shaft, for example. Values such as the oil and generator temperature or the electrical variables can be monitored in order to protect the wind turbine. Our solutions safely monitor wind direction tracking and pitch adjustment.
