        Our DAQ systems are modular allowing you to build your ideal test- and measurement solution. With our mixed signal approach, you only need ONE system for all your inputs: electrical parameters, mechanical data, vehicle bus data, video, sound, position data and many more. Plus, they are easily expandable so no problem if you need a high-channel count system. Multiple systems can be synchronized and connected via ethernet and to realize locally distributed data acquisition systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        VIBRATION MONITORING <\/h2>\n

        Vibration monitoring is key to detecting faults in wind turbines, as most damage in rotating machinery manifests as increased vibration at specific frequencies. DEWETRON offers a great combination of hardware and an intuitive software for comprehensive data analysis. Our solutions provide robust tools for both vibration measurement and detailed assessment of structural health.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"\"\n\n<\/picture>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Performance Analysis<\/h2>\n

        Accurate data is crucial for wind turbine testing, including key values like voltage, current, rotor speed and torque. These measurements are needed to calculate the electrical and mechanical power as well as the efficiency. DEWETRON\u2019s data acquisition solutions are perfect for capturing and visualizing this data. Auxiliary data like wind speed, direction and temperature can be captured in addition.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"\"\n\n<\/picture>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        CONDITION MONITORING <\/h2>\n

        Effective condition monitoring of wind turbines aims to detect and address issues early, reducing performance loss and costs. By continuously tracking key parameters and comparing them to normal operating conditions, our DAQ systems help predict and prevent faults. Our solutions focus on critical components like shafts, bearings, gearboxes, and generators. Utilizing sensors such as accelerometers for bearing faults, temperature sensors for overheating, pressure sensors, and current clamps for generator issues, we provide comprehensive monitoring to ensure optimal turbine performance.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"\"\n\n<\/picture>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        ACOUSTICAL ANALYSIS OF WIND TURBINES <\/h2>\n

        As the environmental noise emission of wind turbines is especially a concern when wind turbines are installed close to residential areas it must be ensured that standardized noise limits are not exceeded. DEWETRON data acquisition systems can be set up and synchronized across distances >100 m to measure airborne sound at different locations simultaneously. Software features such as standardized sound level calculation or CPB analysis help engineers to evaluate the noise emission of wind turbines during the measurement.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"\"\n\n<\/picture>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        OFFSHORE CABLE TESTING<\/h2>\n

        Every offshore cable is tested at the end of production to ensure that it will work reliably during its lifetime of possibly several decades. Testing voltage and current is applied to each conductor and voltage and current are measured at the beginning and at the end of the cable synchronously during EOL testing. By measuring the voltage drop caused by the cable length, phase angles between the conductors and analyzing the harmonics, engineers can ensure that the cable meets the quality expectations.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"\"\n\n<\/picture>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
