LICAP ultracapacitor systems provide additional inertia buffering against sudden load changes within milliseconds. This fast response stabilizes the deviant change in frequency and bridges the time gap in bringing additional generator capacity on-line.
In this Tech Chat we discuss the operational and safety importance of wind turbine pitch systems and how supercapacitors have several advantages over batteries in these systems.
LICAP Technologies has partnered with Windurance LLC to develop an ultracapacitor retrofit solution to replace the existing battery-based energy storage and charger system in GE 30Nm & 20Nm wind turbine pitch battery boxes.
