Maxwell Technologies Inc. has announced that LTi REEnergy GmbH (LTi) has selected Maxwell’s Boostcap ultracapacitors to supply backup power for LTi’s PitchMaster blade pitch control system.
Blade pitch control systems enhance the consistency of wind turbines’ electrical energy output and ensure that rotor speed remains within a safe operating range by constantly adjusting turbine blades to compensate for changes in wind velocity. Ultracapacitors supply backup power for orderly system shutdown in the event of a main system power failure.
