Chongqing KK-Qianwei Windpower Equipment, a wind turbine control provider targeting the Chinese market, has entered into a collaborative agreement with power conversion technology developer Falcon Electric to manufacture heat-resilient turbine controls for projects in Mongolia.

KKQW’s wind turbine controls are powered by a modified version of Falcon’s high temperature-rated uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which is designed to withstand extreme temperatures.
‘The impact of heat and cold on all types of electronics is well documented: both conditions shorten the life and reliability of electronic components,’ said Arthur Seredian, CEO and president Arthur Seredian of Falcon Electric.
‘The SSG Series gives integrators an uninterruptible power supply that is designed to shield critical components from the ambient cold and heat.’
Falcon upgraded its range of batteries, which are now rated to last four years at 122 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to a standard UPS battery that lasts about seven or eight months in similar temperatures.
Power outages occur inside the control cabins, where a reliable UPS must be able to maintain a clean power source with several minutes of battery back-up, in case of a local power outage.
The Chongqing KK-Qianwei Windpower Equipment Company was formed as a joint venture between Denmark-based company kk-electronics and Chongqing Instrument Factory to produce heat-resilient wind turbine control systems.
