Complete connectivity solutions for wind energy

Abrasion-resistant and highly flexible cables for wind turbines from LAPP

Wind energy: with tailwind

Wind parks have been erected all over the world – using wind as an energy source is a crucial factor for achieving an economically viable and climate-friendly power supply via renewable energies. Just like solar energy and photovoltaic systems, wind energy also makes a significant contribution to environmental protection and sustainability. LAPP is also playing its part in the energy transition by developing solutions such as abrasion-resistant and highly flexible cables for wind turbines that can cope with the challenges of the very different climatic conditions at locations on different continents and the specific technical requirements.

On the safe side: Norms and standards for the wind industry

Standards provide guidelines for manufacturers, installers and inspectors to ensure that wind turbines are supplied safely, efficiently and reliably because, for example, cables and electrical lines comply with quality and safety standards. Connection solutions from LAPP comply with these standards. An overview of the key standards.

VDE (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies)

VDE (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) VDE is a German association that develops standards and guidelines for electrical and electronic products. VDE standards cover various aspects, including safety, performance and installation of cables and electrical lines for the specific requirements of wind turbines.

IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)

The global non-profit commission is active in more than 170 countries and develops international standards for electrical engineering, electronics and related technologies - with the aim of ensuring safety, efficiency, reliability and interoperability, for example in the field of wind farm cabling.

BS (British Standards)

The national standardisation body in Great Britain was the first of its kind in the world. Their standards include guidelines for various aspects of connection technology, which are similar to IEC standards, but may also contain specific requirements for the UK market.
Two become one

The wind turbines with a built-in pumped storage system from construction company Max Bögl are setting standards for the energy revolution. Lapp is providing the cabling for the mega-structures.

The requirements for cables, cable glands, wires and connectors in wind turbines are extremely high in terms of temperature resistance, vibration resistance and torsional strength. On the one hand, this is due to the very different climatic conditions and specific technical requirements. At LAPP, we have been facing up to this challenge for many years and offer high-quality, innovative solutions.

Our highly flexible and abrasion-resistant cables and cable glands for wind turbines are designed for a temperature range of -40 to +90°C, are UV-resistant and are more than a match for the prevailing mechanical forces. And that over many years.

Only if all components are optimally coordinated and of the highest quality can service life or system failures be permanently avoided. This is why high-quality products and easy assembly are crucial factors when it comes to selection. If one cable becomes brittle or malfunctions, it affects all other cables from the same reel. Since new installations and removals can be very expensive, investing in durable and high-quality materials is worthwhile in the long run.

The high quality of our products is constantly ensured in our own modern test centres. The global network with its own in-house production in the main markets gives our international customers the security of being able to access a large assortment of standard products with the corresponding standards all over the world.

LAPP can draw on its extensive experience of over 50 years of development and manufacturing, and has built on this to develop various innovations and a high level of production quality and reliability.

At LAPP, we are able to provide you with comprehensive support in the realisation of your wind farm project - from the design-in process for the cabling of the wind turbine to the connection of your wind turbine to the power grid.
