LAFOX, Illinois, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Richardson Electronics, Ltd., a global provider of engineered solutions for renewable energy and other power management applications, has recently announced the expansion of its customer base through a supply agreement with TransAlta Corporation. The company will provide its patented ULTRA3000 and ULTRAPEM modules to numerous wind farms throughout Canada and the United States.
Background and Benefits
The patented pitch energy modules (PEMs) are designed to replace lead acid batteries in various OEM wind turbine platforms that utilize electric pitch systems. PEMs store and manage the energy required to adjust blade angles, ensuring the effective operation of the wind turbine.
- These modules are designed to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve overall performance of wind turbines.
- They are a plug-and-play solution that can be easily integrated into existing systems without requiring significant modifications.
- PEMs offer a more reliable and efficient alternative to traditional lead acid batteries, reducing the risk of faults and downtime.
