In this way, the pod, located on the top of the pylon that holds it, can freely rotate depending on which way the wind is blowing.
OurSlip ring can transfer power from a few hundreds Watts to several dozens of Kilowatt, combining reliability and low-cost technology. Alongside to these power circuits, some control signals can be transferred to gather information (field bus, motor encoder) or power supply other electronics equipment.
The common link, regardless of the final application, is the use of a Slip Ring or a Rotary Union. Cable reels usually transmit power and electric signals, data and different kind of fluids; instead, in case of high-frequency signals, high data rate or where a low bit error rate (BER) is required, the proper result is achieved with a fiber optic rotary joint. Our product range can cover nearly all application from power signals to high data rate or optical signals for cables and from pressurized air to hydraulic oil for rotary union.
Oceanwings® is a fully automated wingsail, enabling hybrid propulsion featuring a mix of wind power and conventional propulsion. To enable automation, the mast embeds a lot of technologies such as strain gauges, thermocouples to monitor the structure and environment but also servomotors to perform sail maneuvers. The wind propulsion concept created by VPLP allows the wing to be automatically positioned depending on the wind direction in order to benefits from the maximum performance of the system, all the time.
