Use a single-vendor wind farm management control system to capture and convert wind energy reliably and efficiently. From wind turbine automation and protection to complete wind farm management solutions, we can help you meet your operational goals.
Wind Farm Automation Solutions
Many of the control systems in place today were developed by turbine manufacturers to meet their own needs. As a result, they are insufficiently scalable, adaptable, economical, or reliable to satisfy an increase in global demand. The rapid pace of wind farm development requires manufacturers to concentrate on turbine construction rather than the implementation of control systems. Our scalable solutions can be implemented on projects as small as one turbine or as large as an entire farm.
Wind Turbine Control Solutions

Air Windpower Develops New Generator
A Wind Generator Control System for High Efficiency and Reliability
The Air Product turbine was created with a clear objective: maximize reliability and minimize the cost of the energy produced during its operating life. The electrical and automatic components had to manage and monitor the operation of the wind generator with the maximum efficiency and with no unplanned stops. Using multiple components in our control portfolio, we helped Air Product implement a comprehensive automation solution for the wind generator. The system proved to offer the highest availability with excellent levels of energy efficiency and reliability.
