3.7 Sensors
3.7.1 Speed and direction of rotation
The direction of rotation of the rotor is determined by means of inductive
proximity sensors in a phase displaced manner. The control system determines
the direction of rotation on the basis of the temporal sequence of the signals.
Proximity sensors (2) at the rotor locking disk (1) are used for determining the
speed and the direction of rotation of the rotor. Up to 3 sensors may be
mounted in the sensor mount (3).
One of the proximity sensors is also connected to a speed switching device
which triggers the safety chain upon exceeding the permissible speed.

4.1 General
The wind turbine REpower 5M is a pitch-controlled wind turbine with variable
speed and an installed nominal power of 5,000 kW. It converts wind energy into
electric energy and supplies it to the electric grid.
The wind turbine has been developed for offshore applications and is used with
various hub heights that depend on the site conditions and the foundation
design. The rotor exhibits a diameter of 126 meters.
Variable speed and power limitation are achieved by means of a combined
control of generator moment and blade pitch.
The operation with variable speed facilitates a high degree of grid compatibility
and an optimized energy yield with minimized noise emissions.

4.3.7 Nacelle
Glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) is used as material for the enclosure. The
design of the nacelle defined nacelle dimensions even sufficient for optimum
service and maintenance conditions. Maintenance work may be performed
while the nacelle is closed.
A hatch in the machine base is used for the entry from the tower into the
nacelle. A maintenance platform has been installed in the upper tower segment
in order to facilitate accessing the components below the machine base.
All components, e.g. the yaw system or the hydraulic system, may be operated
by means of the control system in the nacelle. The control system is housed in
a switching cabinet, the top box. Emergency stop pushbuttons are installed for
safety reasons (ref. section 3.1 "Emergency stop pushbutton").

Open the valve (3) to operate the hydraulic system of the roof only!
The required hydraulic pressure is provided via the reducing valve (2) by
opening the valve (3). If the valve (3) has been opened, the rotor lock can no
longer be activated. In addition, the system loses energy in the form of heat. For
that reason, the valve (3) must be closed again immediately after activating the
hydraulic system of the roof.

y Outside air circuit: Outside air is drawn by means of a ventilator into the
heat exchanger. There it absorbs the amount of heat passed from the
inside air circuit to the heat exchanger. The warmed air is passed via an
exhaust opening to the surrounding. The outside air circuit exhibits a
nominal volume flow of 15,000 m3/h.
The air streams are separated from each other by means of the heat
exchanger. It is impossible for the inside air and the outside air to mix. This
ensures that no maritime outside air will penetrate the nacelle.
If the nacelle interior overheats, the nacelle cooler will switch to an emergency
mode. It is characterized by the fact that warm inside air is taken in and
dispensed into the surrounding.
The nacelle cooler is installed on the right side below the nacelle roof in the rear
section of the nacelle.

4.3.12 Tower
The tower is designed as steel pipe tower. Depending on the hub height and the
design of the foundation, it consists of 3-5 segments. A door opening is
arranged in the tower base. A weatherproof ascent to the nacelle is possible in
an elevator system or via a ladder with a fall protection system inside the tower.
Platforms that are closed with hatches are located at the transitions of the tower
segments.
The second platform is used as access platform for the elevator system and the
ladder with the fall protection system
The energy output from the transformer is passed via shielded conductor rails
that also contribute to the minimization of electromagnetic disturbances to the
tower base. The control signals from the control system in the top box of the
nacelle to the control cabinets in the tower base are transmitted via cables that
are installed on the inside wall of the tower.
A lighting system which ensures a complete illumination of the platforms and
the ascent is installed in the tower. The wind turbine also includes battery-
powered emergency lighting in order to ensure the safe departure from the wind
turbine in case of a grid interruption.

The most critical functions are controlled in a redundant manner and may
trigger a quick stop of the wind turbine via a hard-wired safety chain in case of
an emergency – even without control system and external power supply. This
means maximum security, even during failures, e.g. a complete grid failure,
lightning strikes etc.
The operating data may be retrieved remotely. Accordingly, the entire
information about the status of the wind turbine is available to the operator as
well as the service team at any time. Various password-protected levels have
been set up to that end. Subject to the respective access rights, these even
facilitate a remote control of the wind turbine.

5.1.3 Start-up
If the conditions for the start-up have been fulfilled, and if the result of the
system test has been positive, the following start-up steps are performed:
y The rotor accelerates in a speed-controlled manner and the blade pitch is
slowly shifted in the operating position.
y The wind turbine quickly passes the tower resonance. If this procedure fails
due to a sudden lack of wind, the start-up program will automatically abort.
y If the start-up succeeds, the generator will be coupled upon the rotor
reaching the permissible speed range for the coupling, in particular ±10% of
the coupling speed.
y The condensers of the intermediate direct current circuit are charged and the
converter is connected to the electrical grid.
y Now the control system defines the nominal values for the blade pitch and
the torque of the generator system. These nominal values depend on the
wind speed and are accessed via ramp functions.
This concludes the start-up, and the wind turbine is connected in stationary grid
operating mode to the power grid.
