Modular, dependable and future-proof systems ensure the economic viability of wind farms.

Operators, manufacturers and developers of wind power plants have come to rely on the maximum availability, state of the art technology, system openness and high efficiency of Bachmann’s automation solutions. With more than 30 000 installed systems worldwide and a market share of over 50%, Bachmann electronic is number 1 in the automation of wind power systems.

System operators choose Bachmann

Wind power plant operators require system solutions to be highly dependable, simply integrated into existing infrastructure and compatible in the long-term with a service life of more than 20 years. The M1-automation system has a tried and tested availability of more than 99.96% even under extreme conditions. Standardized protocols and the retro-capability of new developments secure the operator’s investment and provide a future-proof solution.

System manufacturers choose Bachmann

System manufacturers must constantly meet new market requirements.  With the modular M1-system, Bachmann offers a broad spectrum of hardware that allows optimal control adaption based on the requirements of the wind power system. For all necessary machine functions, such as visualisation, networking, control and diagnosis, Bachmann supplies a wide array of configurable software building blocks. This means basic functions are already available from the start. All tools are developed according to international standards and permit flexible integration and parameterization. By using these mechanisms the wind power system manufacturer can employ his own know-how to increase his competitive advantage.

System developers choose Bachmann

Short set-up and quick start-up times are essential for market success. The M1-system meets accepted industrial norms and is based on international software and IT standards. The embedded modelling tools Matlab®/Simulink® and other modern standardized development tools allow for the rapid creation of comprehensive applications, thus ensuring success.

Ultimate objective: Smart Grid

As an ultimate objective, an intelligent network integrates all players in the electricity market: Power generation, storage, network management and consumption interact in an overall system. On the one hand network overload can be avoided, on the other, always only as much power is generated as required.

In this development Bachmann is on the forefront and with its M1 automation system provides an ideal platform for transparent and efficient networking of distributed power generation plants. The systems from Bachmann are certified as per the relevant standards, have a proven availability of over 99.96% and thus provide the required safety to the investments of the plant operators
