- Mfg Part Number: 133855
Maxwell Technologies’ 160V module is designed to provide energy storage for emergency pitch control and maximize the energy generation of a wind turbine. Based on ultracapacitor technology, the 160V module can considerably reduce turbine maintenance and life cycle costs, improve reliability and lower the overall cost of energy. Scalable in series and parallel configuration, the product can meet a majority of the new and existing pitch power delivery requirements.
Ultracapacitors are the technology of choice for electric pitch control systems because of their longer operating lifetime, low maintenance requirements and superior cold weather performance when compared to batteries.
