Use cases

Use Case wind turbine generator

Hybrid power lines for wind turbines:
precise wind tracking while cutting installation space in half

The bottleneck:

Maximizing energy yield requires precise nacelle alignment. In the field, separate lines are placed for motor control and sensors, using up valuable installation space, inflating material costs, and rendering the installation prone to faults.

The 2-in-1 solution from Kabelwerke Villingen:

We have developed a highly integrated hybrid cable to tackle this problem at its root. Power conductors for the motor and integrated data pairs for the wind direction sensor are integrated into a single cable harness.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Perfectly EMC-safe: Optimised shielding prevents electromagnetic interference between the power and data lines.
  • Radically space-saving: One cable replaces two, thereby massively reducing installation space and weight alike.
  • Efficient installation: The plug & play approach reduces assembly effort in the tower.
  • Greatest operational reliability: Durable, mechanically extremely robust construction – made in Germany.

The result

A more straightforward installation and uncompromisingly reliable operation: a well-designed connection solution for fail-safe power generation.
