Moog, a manufacturer of blade pitch control, slip ring, and rotor monitoring solutions for the wind industry, has launched its new AC Moog Wind Turbine Pitch System in China. Adopting a compact modular architecture, the new system has distinct advantages in safety, reliability, and an overall reduction in the cost of energy, in addition to a remote terminal usability feature as well.
A pitch system monitors and adjusts the angle of the wind turbine blades that controls the rotation speed of the rotor. The new modular design of the pitch system makes it easy to integrate into customers’ turbines for a significant reduction in complexity. Wind-turbine manufacturers and operators can benefit from less downtime for maintenance and higher productivity as the total number of separated components and their costs in the system is reduced.
The Moog AC Pitch Servo technology has proven to be safe and reliable with key components TÜV certified for compliance with the certification guideline GL2010 and the international standard ISO 13849-1. Besides, the integration of Moog Ruggedized Motion Controller and associated software has been extensively tested by Moog to ensure the system’s reliability for use in harsh environment.
The new AC pitch system has been successfully intotegrated in Envision Energy’s new 4MW offshore smart wind turbine and has been put into operation in Rudong intertidal wind farm with a proven record of at least 20% higher power generation-capacity than its counterparts. The Envision 4MW model is designed to exploit the wind resources in China’s coastal and offshore area.

Excellent article thank you. We just released a safety platform system which is designed for installation or repairs to a fully assembled 1.5 mega watt rotor assembly. Please check it out at http://www.kazetechplusllc.com Our safety system is designed to fully and safely support a fully assembled rotor assembly four foot above surface allowing repair technicians the ability to stand up safely and not on their backs for repairs. During our testing winds exceeded 35 mile an hour gust the RotorSafe 1 system safely maintained the rotor assembly without movement. We are currently looking for distributors to help us launch our product line to the market place if RotorSafe 1 is of interest to your company please contact Steve Cunningham 1-405-820-5364 or email kazetechplusllc@gmail.com thank you.
