Pitch Drive System for Improved Safety.
> The SETEC pitch system offers double safety on each rotor blade for 90 ° positioning.
> The spinning-off of the rotor blades or a collapse of the wind turbine due to overspeed and imbalance will become unlikely.
The general function:
- During an undisturbed system, the special function is in standby mode.
- If the standard system can not adjust the rotor blades, the safety function becomes fail-safe active, by a purely mechanical function.
- Releasing a rotational movement of rotor-blade in direction of 90 degrees.
- In the case of a turn towards the work-poition the mechanically controlled function prevents from this rotation.
This means that extreme damage to the WT caused by pitch-drives malfunction can be avoided for a negligible additional cost.
