Wind development region
Kansas is ranked No. 2 in wind potential and is among the top ve states for operating wind farms, with 5110MW of wind farms currently in operation and 1000MW in new projects announced. Kansas wind is cost e ective due to
high capacity factors, and has therefore been attractive to corporate and out-of- state o -takers, which are purchasing a signi cant percentage of the wind energy produced in Kansas. Centrally located
in the heart of the wind corridor, Kansas o ers access to the key regions for wind farm development and an advantageous operating environment for developers, wind turbine component manufacturers, logistics, and other service providers. e Kansas Department of Commerce is
the primary point of contact to assist companies in learning about the state’s wind industry and nding the ideal site for their operations.

Community acceptance and security around wind farms Technostrobe present LIDS (Lighting Intensity Dimming Solution), a new solution that helps wind energy developers gain a greater level of community acceptance for their projects by reducing the intensity of the lights
on wind farms. LIDS technology can e ectively and safely adjust the intensity of the light to the surrounding visibility present at wind farms. Light intensity can now be dimmed by 90% under clear skies conditions (10km or more of visibility). When the intensity of the lights is adjusted according to the surrounding visibility, pilot safety is maintained when they are ying near wind farms, and it signi cantly mitigates the impact of the beacons on local communities.

Hybrid tower system for high yield
With every additional meter of hub height added to a wind turbine, the annual energy yield increases by 0.5% to 1%. Reduced wind turbulence resulting in signi cantly better wind yield speak in favor of hub heights over 130 meters. is delivers a faster return on investment (ROI) for the entire project. With hybrid towers from Max Bögl Wind AG, hub heights of up to 180 meters can be realized economically. is is possible thanks to a combination of precast concrete parts and steel elements. For projects outside Europe, they provide local manufacturing in a mobile factory. is company o ers the manufacturing, delivery, and erection of hybrid towers, and holds the record for the highest wind turbine tower with 178m hub height.

Smart components
In Texas, EMA Electromechanics produces the VDH/GSMI, which combines a circuit breaker and a high-speed grounding switch. Concerning PRC-024-1/2, the VDH/GSMI supports di erentiation between internal and external faults, signaling the WTG in a fraction of the 150ms required by the standard, and providing valuable information to take the decision to shut down.

Wind turbine in real-time monitoring
Directly integrated in the gearmotor, Bon glioli patented integrated load-cell for yaw and pitch drives is monitoring in real- time load peaks through the measurement of torque. Connected by a cable, the system enables the automatic shifting of the motor to protect the drive. e output signal of the transmitter turns the electric motor
o , if necessary, or reduces the capacity of the frequency inverter and provides information to the PLC.
