Moog Inc. has introduced new wind turbine Remote Terminal Software to give operators and manufacturers greater control and understanding of the operation of pitch systems, which are critical to the efficiency and safety of wind turbines. The new Remote Terminal Software can be accessed by Moog engineers and the customer’s service personnel using a single, user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). Based on a proven architecture, the software offers users the ability to remotely diagnose potential operational issues in the pitch system, and take corrective actions, either by parameter editing or through preventive maintenance actions.
 
The status view of the pitch control system is displayed alongside important control information to make it a comprehensive, but easy-to-use service tool. The parameter editor offers a full dataset and protected access to key parameters in the pitch system control software. The integrated condition monitoring functions provide early diagnoses of potential issues to reduce turbine downtime. The tool will also help operators plan on-site service work, allowing for targeted maintenance. Software updates can also be applied remotely to ensure that customers can take advantage of continuous improvements in the tool. These are made based on feedback from global service organizations.
