Mechanical, Electromechanical and Mechatronic Test for the Wind Power
Industry, including Wind Turbine Testing both in the field, and in the factory.
imc DataWorks specializes in multi-parameter, mixed-signal mechanical data
acquisition, measurement, and control. Within the Wind Power Industry this includes
|
Subsystems
- Active dampers
- Blade vibration, balancing
- Gearbox
- Brake
- Generator
- Shaft torque
- Yaw mechanism and control
- Cooling unit
- Tower
- Speed control
|
Testing Modes
- Standards (IEC 61400-13, ...)
- Mechanical load spectra
- Performance and efficiency
- Acoustic evaluation
- Power Quality measurements
- Fatigue & Structure
- Environment
- Impact
- etc…
|
As with the industry itself, measurements associated with Wind Energy production
represent an emerging challenge... yet the imc systems have already proven themselves in Wind
Turbines around the globe!

Customer Profile
Wind Turbine Test and Evaluation
There are not many industrial applications where mechanical and electrical engineering are as intermeshed as in the field of wind energy
engineering. The complexity of evaluating, measuring and testing a modern wind turbine system poses a great challenge. The elements involved
include power quality and power performance measurements as well as structural analyses, load measurements or acoustic evaluations, to mention
just a few.
