In a recent conversation with Roberto Pasqualini, Wind Business Development Senior Manager at Bonfiglioli, we delved into the innovative wind solutions displayed at WindEnergy 2024. The event was a significant showcase of Bonfiglioli's commitment to enhancing turbine efficiency and reliability, emphasizing both offshore and onshore applications.
Key highlights included advanced pitch and yaw drives suitable for offshore turbines up to 18 MW, alongside synchronous servo motors employing cutting-edge permanent magnet technology. These solutions provide remarkable increases in torque density and improved system efficiency compared to traditional asynchronous motors.
One standout innovation was the integration of the DGM modular inverter directly into the yaw drive, offering enhanced modularity and flexibility. Additionally, Bonfiglioli's BMD synchronous servomotors stood out due to their compact design, precision, dynamic performance, and integration capabilities with frequency inverters and planetary gearboxes.
Bonfiglioli further underscored its commitment to sustainability through its AxiaVert inverters and advanced Z and W sensors, significantly boosting energy efficiency, reliability, and predictive maintenance capabilities. By optimizing motor control and real-time monitoring, these technologies offer substantial energy savings and operational safety.
Through its active participation in global decarbonization initiatives and membership in the APQP4Wind Association, Bonfiglioli continues to set high standards in quality assurance and sustainability, positively impacting the wind industry.
