Innovations Television to Showcase Recent Breakthroughs in Wind Turbine Technology
Jupiter, FL (PRWEB) October 05, 2017 -- Award-winning producers of the Innovations with Ed Begley, Jr. series will uncover recent breakthroughs throughout the growing wind energy industry. This episode is slated to air during first quarter, 2018. Check your local listings for more info.
During the last decade, the wind energy industry has experienced significant growth. As a result, so has turbine slip-ring technology. This segment of Innovations will explore these small, yet powerful devices, and will uncover their importance throughout the industry.
Wind turbines require reliable transmission of power and data signals from the nacelle to the control system for the rotary blades, and this is where slip rings come into play. Featuring United Equipment Accessories (UEA), the Innovations series will discuss why design firms, like UEA, have been focusing efforts on engineering slip rings that are specifically made for wind turbines – creating units that last longer and require less maintenance, which in turn lessens downtime and upkeep.
This is why design firms in the industry have been focusing efforts on engineering slip rings specifically for wind turbines that last longer and require less maintenance.
“UEA is pleased to be working with Innovations to discuss slip ring design as it relates to wind turbines and the issues and trends affecting the industry,” said Daniel Hanawalt Business Development Manager for UEA. “We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to help educate the general population about the wind industry while showcasing our company and products.”
“When a slip ring fails, power and communication data cannot pass through to pitch mechanisms and other controls in the hub, therefore shutting down the wind turbine,” said Rochelle Hyman, Producer for the Innovations series. “We look forward to exploring how better designed slip rings are helping the industry perform better and continue to grow now and into the future.”
