Alternative Energy

With an increased reliance on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power the demand for reliable and high quality electro-technical components is also on the increase.

From insulation components used on wind turbine generator output reactors to slip ring housings used on spindles to control the blades, Miles Platts have supplied high reliability components that have enjoyed years of trouble free service.

In the demanding environment of a nacelle where the temperature extremes place tremendous pressures on material performance Miles Platts have engineered high reliability components in performance engineering polymers that have replaced metal parts or DMC.  The modern world of thermoplastic engineering polymers has allowed us to reduce part weights, simplify assembly and maintain the strength of the original component.

Where a failed component often means closing down a wind farm and despatching a service engineer by helicopter the emphasis on reliability could not be higher.
