2019 wind buyers guide
NTC Wind Energy
NTC Wind Energy’s patented IronClad bolt caps for the wind industry are made of UV resistant HDPE, manufactured specifically for the make and size of foundation anchor bolts. Bolt caps are intended to prevent water from intruding into the bolt sleeves, prevent the grease applied to the rod from dissipating by sealing it from air and water, and to mitigate the safety hazard of exposed bolts. All of NTC Wind Energy’s caps are precisely sized to assure a good fit on the flats of the nut, thereby maintaining a positive seal against the tower flange at the flexible bottom “skirt” of the cap. They can be purchased in black or white, standard, or extreme duty, and multiple lengths. www.ntcwind.com
Blade | Tower Manufacturer & Repair
LM Wind Power A/S
Capturing the wind in remote places, in all types of weather, calls for reliability. LM Wind Power’s wind turbine blades are advanced creations: designed, manufactured, and validated with refined tools to ensure they can endure the forces of nature for more than 20 years. Technology plays a central role in the design of each wind turbine blade type, taking into account several factors such as materials, aerodynamics, blade profile, and structure. These factors define the performance and reliability of the blade and require a high degree of precision. www.lmwindpower.com

CTC Global
CTC Global, in association with 20 international manufacturing partners, produces the High-Capacity, Low-Sag ACCC Conductor. The ACCC conductor carries twice the current of other bare, overhead conductors with 25% to 40% less line losses. The use of ACCC can help reduce upfront capital costs for the tie line, and improve the overall economics of the generation project—reduced line losses translate into more power delivered for any wind energy investment. www.ctcglobal.com
HELUKABEL USA
HELUKABEL’s HELUWIND WK line of copper and aluminum cables are made to be used throughout the turbine: rotor tip to the power grid. HELUKABEL offers an array of copper power cables, fiber optic and copper data cables, and communication cables to monitor the multitude of sensors in the nacelle. HELUWIND WK cables have been rigorously tested to withstand more than 15,000 torsion cycles. Their UL/CSA, CE, and VDE-listed aluminum and copper cables down tower cables are rated up to 35kV. An extensive connector range, which allows copper to copper, aluminum to aluminum, and aluminum to copper connections, ensures that HELUKABEL can provide the proper fit, no matter the conductor material used.
