Overview
A pitch system monitors and controls the angle of attack of the rotor blades and thus controls the speed of the rotor. Furthermore it is the main brake of a wind turbine. The pitch drive is the main part of a pitch system as it takes over the control of it. Nidec’s SSB is designing and producing high performance AC, DC & Servo drives for more than 25 years with a specificity of very high level of reliability and safety. Due to this Nidec’s SSB can also ensure spare part availability of more than 20 years.
