WINDPOWER 2019
May 20th - 23rd, 2019; George R. Brown Convention Center – Houston, TX
www.windpowerexpo.org
2018 has been a historic year as wind power surpassed 90,000MW installed and the AWEA WINDPOWER Conference grew 10% making it the largest show in 5 years. e wind industry’s powerful growth is poised to continue in 2019, with more than 37,700MW of wind capacity under construction or in advanced development. As we move toward the 2020s, wind energy will continue to thrive through collaboration with technology, other sources of clean and traditional energy, policy makers, innovators, farmers and ranchers, rural communities, big cities, and the list goes on. In May 2019, that future begins in Houston, the energy capital of world, where leaders from the wind industry and across energy sectors will gather at AWEA WINDPOWER 2019. In Houston, we will take the next steps forward to powering that future, together!

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.

Preventive blade maintenance with lightning current monitoring
The Lightning Monitoring System (LM- S) from Phoenix Contact detects and analyzes in real time the magnitude, duration, number, and other parameters of surge current events caused by lightning strikes. Detailed lightning analysis can be an effective input to asset management systems to optimize the inspection intervals for wind turbine blades, as well as appraise damage requiring immediate attention. This can result in performance improvements by reducing turbine downtime and increasing availability. This has important implications as wind turbines become larger and are located in more access remote areas such as offshore applications.
