NRG Systems introduces the IceFree Hybrid™ XT turbine control sensor
|
|
Hinesburg, Vermont (USA)—NRG Systems, manufacturer of wind measurement equipment for the global wind energy industry, announces the introduction of its new IceFree Hybrid™ XT turbine control sensor designed to provide longer bearing life and improved vane response characteristics. Suitable for all-weather conditions, including offshore, this sensor meets industry demands for reliability and performance while helping wind farm operators deliver more power more of the time.
“For wind farm owners, operators and turbine manufacturers, getting more power from the wind and extending the life of their assets is of primary importance,” said Larry Jacobs, marketing manager for NRG Systems. “Turbine control sensors help them do just that. They are essential devices that operate in turbulent, harsh conditions and help control some of the most critical functions of a turbine.”
The IceFree Hybrid™ XT incorporates protected bearings to guard against dirt and dust, a twin-tail vane design for better performance in off-axis winds, patent-pending magnetic damping for improved stability and accuracy, and enhanced heating properties.
“The Hybrid XT represents the next iteration of our turbine control product line,” added Jacobs. “Ease-of-use, durability and accuracy were primary drivers for NRG Systems in developing this new sensor.”
The IceFree Hybrid™ XT, backed by NRG Systems’ technical support and warranty, will ship via surface freight free of charge starting in June 2011. Information requests and orders can be placed by contacting 802-482-2255 or sales@nrgsystems.com.
