The sensor is an essential component for lightning monitoring (LM-S) on rotor blades of wind turbine generators.
The sensor is mounted on the surge protective device of the rotor blade. One sensor is required for each surge protective device. Communication with the higher-level controller takes place via a direct connection.
The sensor is part of the Blade Intelligence rotor blade monitoring system product portfolio for wind turbine generators.
The system essentially consists of sensors for load monitoring, lightning current measurement, and structural health monitoring, which were specially developed for use on the rotor blade. The modular design allows the individual solutions to be combined as needed based on requirements. Depending on the sensor, the sensor data is transmitted to a common evaluation unit either via the IO-Link communication module or via a direct connection. The evaluation unit is available as a ready-to-use switchgear and controlgear assembly (see accessories). For alternatives to the ready-to-use switchgear and controlgear assembly solution, please contact your Phoenix Contact subsidiary.
The Blade Intelligence rotor blade monitoring system can also be reliably integrated into existing systems.
IMPORTANT NOTE
You need an app to operate the product in the Blade Intelligence rotor blade monitoring system. You can download the app in the PLCnext Store.
