Wind Sensor Application in Wind Power Solution

Wind Sensor Application in Wind Power Solution

2024-10-17

Global Wind Power Industry Development According to data from the Global Wind Energy Council, by the end of 2008, the world's total installed wind power capacity had reached 120.79 million kilowatts. This capacity can generate 260 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 158 million tons. The top five countries in terms of installed capacity are the United States, Germany, Spain, China, and India. Together, these nations account for 72.6% of the world's total wind power capacity, or 87.68 million kilowatts.   China's Wind Power Industry Growth China’s wind power industry has seen rapid development since the establishment of its first demonstration wind farm in Rongcheng, Shandong Province, in 1986. After nearly 23 years of continuous effort, the country's wind farms have significantly expanded. According to the China Wind Energy Association, by the end of 2008, over 11,600 wind turbines had been installed, with a total capacity of approximately 12.153 million kilowatts, representing a 106% growth in capacity. Of the total installed capacity, 61.8% came from domestic and joint venture enterprises, while 38.2% was supplied by foreign companies.     Firstrate Sensor Application in Wind Power Solution     In wind power generation, sensors play a key role by collecting various types of data, such as turbine speed, current, voltage, temperature, pressure, and displacement. This data is transmitted to a monitoring system for processing and analysis, allowing real-time insights into the turbine’s operational status and helping to maximize power generation efficiency. The main functions of sensors in wind power include monitoring, providing feedback, making predictions, and enabling control.       Wind Speed and Directing Sensor Application in Wind Power Solution   Wind turbines must continuously monitor wind speed and direction to optimize power generation efficiency. Wind speed sensors, or anemometers, are exposed to harsh high-altitude environments, so they need to be waterproof, lightning-proof, and capable of ice melting. They must also ensure electromagnetic compatibility and be able to withstand extreme conditions like freezing rain, hail, radiation, high altitudes, vibration, and dust.   Applicable sensors: Heated wind speed and direction sensors FST200-201B,FST200-202B                                 Ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor FST200-204     Product Features and Advantages:   Developed using a non-contact magnetic sensing technology, providing high accuracy and reliability in data collection, with a broad wind speed measurement range and a low start-up wind speed. Operates within a wide voltage range of 18-36VDC, with multi-level lightning protection and surge resistance. Constructed from materials that offer excellent corrosion resistance and strong durability in high-wind conditions.   In addition to being mounted on the rear mast of a wind turbine nacelle for wind speed measurement, the wind speed and direction sensor can also be integrated into meteorological monitoring systems for environmental assessment.

In this case, you should first check whether the pressure interface leakage or blocked, if it is not confirmed, check the wiring, such as wiring and then check the power supply, such as the power supply is normal and then look at the sensor zero output, or simply pressurized to see whether the output changes, there is a change to prove that the sensor is not damaged, if there is no change in the sensor that has been damaged.

How to Choose the Right Pressure Transmitter Model?

How to Choose the Right Pressure Transmitter Model?

2024-09-06

The first thing to consider is the maximum pressure your system experiences. A good rule of thumb is to choose a pressure transmitter with a range up to 1.5 times the maximum pressure of your system. This is because systems, especially in water pressure and process control, often experience pressure spikes or pulses. These spikes can be five to ten times higher than the normal pressure and may damage the pressure transmitter. Continuous high-pressure pulses that approach or exceed the transmitter's maximum limit can also reduce its lifespan. Simply opting for a pressure transmitter with a much higher range isn’t ideal, as this will sacrifice resolution. A better approach is to use a snubber to dampen the spikes, even if it slows the transmitter's response slightly.

How to correct the emissivity of infrared temperature sensors

How to correct the emissivity of infrared temperature sensors

2024-08-16

The principle of infrared temperature measurement sensor is based on the law of blackbody radiation, according to Stephen Boltzmann's law, all the temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 ° C) of the object will radiate electromagnetic waves to the outside, infrared temperature measurement sensor because of its wide temperature range and the convenience of non-contact temperature measurement, is now more and more widely used.

A pressure sensor can feel the pressure signal, and by a certain law will be converted to the pressure signal available output of the electrical signal device or device.Pressure sensors are usually composed of pressure-sensitive components and signal-processing units. According to different types of test pressure, pressure sensors can be divided into gauge pressure sensors, absolute pressure sensors, and differential pressure sensors.

How to measure wind speed and direction in cold areas?

How to measure wind speed and direction in cold areas?

2023-10-20

Wind speed sensor and  wind direction sensor are both of the important equipments for meteorological environment monitoring. Traditional wind speed and wind direction sensors in low-temperature regions and cold winter seasons, there are cases that the rotating bearings are frozen or the low temperature interferes with the circuits, etc, which seriously affects the normal collection of wind speed and wind direction data.
