Reliability & Safety
SAFETY
- Base Level: Regenerative braking slows the turbine rotor down while still harvesting energy.
- Second Level: Electronic control system activates mechanical brake.
- Third Level: Quad pneumatic, fail-safe mechanical brakes deploy, bringing the turbine to rest in as little as 10 seconds.
DATA INPUT &
MANAGEMENT
- Integrated microprocessor with multiple sensor inputs: wind speed, power, voltages, currents and phase, rpm, vibration and temperature alerts.
- LCD display in control box. Can output to local PC or be monitored remotely via the internet.
- Remote Monitoring: Allows remote monitoring of the wind turbine in order for Ryse to ensure the turbine is operating at its peak performance.
CONSTRUCTION &
MAINTENANCE
- Limited plant requirement for installation.
- Majority of major components at ground level, simplifying installation, operation and maintenance.
- Environmentally friendly screw pile foundation instead of a concrete foundation.
- Screw pile foundation offeres quick relocation and re-deployment.
- Ryse service contract available.
