Renewable energy slip ring cases

Wind turbines are essential components of renewable energy systems, harnessing the power of wind to generate electricity. A slip ring is a crucial component in wind turbines because it facilitates the transfer of power and signals between the stationary and rotating parts of the turbine.

3GOTEK wind slip ring for yaw Control System: Wind turbines are designed to face the wind for optimal energy capture. To achieve this, they require a yaw control system that adjusts the turbine's orientation. Yaw control relies on continuous rotation, and a slip ring enables the transmission of power and signals between the stationary base and the rotating nacelle (the part of the turbine housing the generator and other equipment).

3GOTEK turbine slip ring for Electrical Power Generation: The rotor blades of a wind turbine spin due to wind energy, turning the rotor shaft. This rotation needs to be converted into electrical power by the generator housed within the nacelle. Slip rings allow the transfer of the generated electrical power from the rotating generator to the stationary power grid without interrupting the rotation of the turbine.

3GOTEK pitch slip ring for Pitch Control System: Wind turbine blades have pitch control mechanisms that adjust the angle of the blades to optimize energy capture and protect the turbine in high winds. Slip rings enable the communication of control signals and data between the blade-mounted sensors and the control system in the nacelle.

3GOTEK hub slip ring for Data Transmission: Wind turbines are equipped with various sensors and monitoring systems that collect data about wind speed, direction, blade health, and more. This data is crucial for efficient operation and maintenance. Slip rings facilitate the transmission of this data from rotating sensors to the stationary control systems for analysis.

3GOTEK wind energy slip ring for Lighting and Communication: Wind turbines often have lighting systems for aviation safety, as well as communication equipment for remote monitoring and control. Slip rings enable the power supply and data transmission to these systems while allowing the turbine to rotate freely.
The wind turbine slip rings of 3GOTEK are widely used in different brands of wind turbines, which perfectly replace the function of the old slip rings. Reliable support for wind power plants worldwide!
