Ingeteam to showcase innovative wind conversion system at Hamburg

Ingeteam will showcase its latest products at WindEnergy Hamburg 2016, including the company’s new Ingecon wind Fix2Var Speed wind power conversion system.
Ingeteam to showcase innovative wind conversion system at Hamburg

The Ingecon wind Fix2Var Speed wind power conversion system, which has been validated through thorough testing on Ingeteam’s full load test bench, increases the annual energy production, lifetime and grid performance of fixed-speed wind turbines by enabling them to switch to variable-speed machines in order to better adapt to wind conditions.

The switch to a variable speed topology will enable fixed-speed asset operators to obtain an optimum power curve for their fleet, in a wide range of wind speeds, leading to increased annual energy production. This new system extends the asset lifetime by smoothing speed changes caused by gusts of wind, and also reduces transients caused by start-ups, emergency stops and grid variations. Furthermore, the system guarantees grid compatibility by removing the flicker effects and low frequency harmonics generated by the capacitor banks, and enabling power factor regulation.

Ingeteam will also exhibit its Ingesys CMS tool for the monitoring of vibrations, supervision and status diagnostics of wind turbines. This is a condition monitoring system which can be integrated into any SCADA system.  It is completely open and configurable and features highly intuitive data display software, making it possible to customise the final solution to meet each customer's specific needs and, therefore, to increase return on investment.

As a complement to this tool, Ingeteam has developed data conversion modules which make it possible to include data generated by third-party CMS devices into the Ingesys CMS tool suite. On the one hand, this functionality makes it possible to reduce the licence cost as no additional software is required, whilst, on the other hand, it increases the efficiency of monitoring the wind turbine status, given the fact that the entire fleet of farms is on a single platform.

Visitors to the Ingeteam stand will also be able to inspect Indar’s extensive range of wind generators, manufactured in a number of topologies (DFIG, DFM and PMG amongst others). These generators are universally recognised for their high efficiency and robustness, having also concurrently obtained the recognition of the most demanding energy utilities as well as the approval of international standards and certification bodies (including UL). As part of the Ingeteam group, Indar Electric is the company dedicated to the design and manufacture of generators. The company has been manufacturing generators and motors since 1940 and houses one of the most complete test benches in the world, enabling it to perform complete load tests on its designs for all types of environmental conditions and to guarantee that its products are of the highest quality.

Ingeteam will be present at Stand 413, Hall A4, WindEnergy Hamburg, to be held from 27th to 30th September at the Hamburg Congress Centre, the Hamburg Messe, in Hamburg, Germany.
