We Provide Springs for
Renewables
Springs store mechanical or potential energy that can later be harvested into usable electrical power. One example is the electromagnetic induction generator (EMIG), which uses magnetic fields created by the motion of magnets on opposite sides of a coil to generate electricity. Another example is the torsion pendulum generator (TPG), which uses rotational motion from an oscillating pendulum attached to two torsion rods connected by two masses at each end. As one mass rotates, it twists the torsion rods and stores energy in the spring, which can then be converted into electrical power.
Overall, technical springs offer a unique way to store and release energy for various applications. With their high efficiency levels and potential for large-scale energy storage, they have the potential to become an increasingly popular choice for renewable energy projects in the future.
Springs play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and safe operation of
windmills
- Windmill blades often use torsion springs to control their movement. These springs are responsible for regulating the pitch or angle of the blades in response to changing wind speeds. When the wind force exceeds a certain limit, the torsion springs activate, allowing the blades to twist and adjust their angle, thereby preventing damage to the windmill structure.
- In horizontal-axis wind turbines, yawing mechanisms allow the turbine to turn and face the wind as it changes direction. Springs can play a role in this yawing system, assisting in smoothly aligning the turbine with the wind and absorbing sudden changes in wind direction to prevent abrupt stress on the turbine structure.
