HYDRAULIC SOLUTION: BOOSTS COST EFFICIENCY AND EXTENDS LIFE SPAN OF WIND POWER PLANTS

摘要

Although hydraulic controls for wind power plants represent a relatively small proportion of the procurement costs compared with other components of a wind power plant, they have a crucial influence on expensive parts of plants. The rotor brakes, for instance, can be controlled very sensitively by hydraulic means, thereby protecting the gearbox, tower, and the foundation and rotor blade from being exposed to high levels of stress. This increases the life span of these expensive elements. Hydraulic components offer additional cost efficiency when they are intelligently interconnected, configured to facilitate service and maintenance, and are made of robust material.
