Ioxus Inc. says it has provided ultracapacitors for pitch control and main control systems to REenergy Electric (Suzhou) Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of wind turbine power-control systems in Suzhou, China.
REenergy Electric has deployed the ultracapacitors in its pitch control systems that are divided into low-temperature, altiplano and offshore type systems. These systems match the 1.5 MW, 2 MW, 2.5 MW, 3 MW and 3.6 MW variable-speed and constant frequency needed for dual-fed or direct drive-type wind power generation equipment with three-cabinet, four-cabinet, six-cabinet and seven-cabinet types, Ioxus says. The main control system is applicable to 1.5 MW and 2.5 MW wind power generation equipment.
