Renewable energies

At ASC, we provide high-performance inertial sensor technology to help maximize the efficiency, reliability and service life of renewable energy systems. Our precision accelerometers, gyroscopes, IMUs and smart sensor solutions support applications throughout the lifecycle of wind turbines – from development, modal and structural analysis to condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and operational optimization. Designed for demanding environments, ASC sensors capture everything from minute structural movements to high-frequency vibrations and extreme dynamic loads.

For example, the continuous monitoring of offshore wind turbines enables the detection of changes in rotor balance, gearboxes, bearings and other critical components before they progress into costly failures. Low-noise accelerometers accurately capture low-frequency tower and rotor movements, while piezoelectric sensors and high-performance gyroscopes provide detailed insights into vibrations, angular motion and drivetrain dynamics. The resulting data also supports predictive maintenance strategies including digital twins, thereby helping operators plan interventions effectively.

From optimizing turbine design to detecting emerging faults offshore, ASC inertial sensors turn precise measurement data into higher availability, lower maintenance costs and more efficient renewable energy production.
