The recent Servo Pitch LRU pitch control system is for utility-scale wind turbines. The controls use modular Line Replaceable Units (LRU’s) for ease of manufacturing and service. Developer experience with high reliability and low maintenance provide a reliable and sophisticated pitch control. The design was recently certified for High Temperature [50°C] and High Humidity [100%RH] by a third party agency.
Simple diagnostics and verification tools speed turbine assembly, commissioning, service, and maintenance operations. The diagnostic software quickly identifies required service actions. Its standard maintenance interval is 5 years, with an option for a 10-year interval.

The developer has brought power conversion and embedded-system knowledge to pitch controls installed globally since the late 1990’s. The Servo Pitch LRU pitch system uses the latest electronics and is precision manufactured at a world class facility with an AS9100 aerospace quality management.
The company offers a full line of blade-pitch controls for existing and new turbines worldwide. The modular blade pitch platform includes i-Pitch, mini-Pitch (for sub-megawatt turbines), the DC pitch unit which is the original well-established and tested platform, and now the Servo Pitch LRU.
