We look forward to seeing you at stand 3-D22, as well as at the technical sessions and poster presentations"

This means providing increasingly competitive technology solutions for renewable energies and electrification. “An effective combination of energy conversion technology, power electronics platforms, and electric generators can reduce the Levelized cost of energy (LCoE) and increase annual electricity production (AEP) from renewable energy sources,” explained Xabier Irure, Global Commercial Director of Ingeteam Wind Energy.

Together with a high-level team of specialists from Ingeteam, we will be presenting our very latest wind power products, technologies, and services as well as control, monitoring, and SCADA systems. We look forward to seeing you at stand 3-D22, as well as at the technical sessions and poster presentations.”

Renewable generation assets

Products to be presented include the company’s latest generation of high power DFIG converters, in the range of 6 to 8 MW. Manufactured to the highest quality standards, these state-of-the-art converters are compliant with the most stringent international grid codes to facilitate the full wind turbine certification process. In addition, it will exhibit a wide range of wind generators, manufactured in different topologies (DFIG, IG, and PMG). A recognized leader in its segment has supplied around 43,000 wind generators, with a global installed power of 45 GW.

INGESYS™ Smart SCADA solutions will also be featured. INGESYS™ has been shown to deliver significant cost savings, enhanced security, and performance improvements for the integrated management of renewable generation assets. From the installation of new-build projects to the optimization of aging assets, one central platform allows customers to monitor day-to-day operations, optimize performance, and resolve complex operational challenges.

Reducing maintenance costs

Still, in the O&M area, the company will also showcase INGEPREDICT, a single platform offering comprehensive predictive maintenance, which integrates monitoring and diagnosis software, predictive maintenance services, and up tower repair services. INGEPREDICT facilitates the early detection of factors leading to underperformance or unplanned downtime, improving efficiency and reducing overall maintenance costs. 

Pablo Dominguez Sanchez, of the Quality & Innovation department, will present the poster ‘Use of Human Machine Interface (HMI) with advanced reliability tools for power conversion systems in the wind power industry.’
