Rittal GmbH & Co. KG

Rittal GmbH & Co. KG is the world's leading supplier of enclosures, power distribution, climate control, IT infrastructure and software & service for safe operation of electrical systems.

“We supply all wind turbine manufacturers worldwide, directly or indirectly via panel-building and switchgear engineering, and tap into significant cost-cutting potential through automation solutions and digitally integrating processes along the entire value chain,” says Dr René Umlauft, Managing Director of Sales at Rittal.

In collaboration with sister company Eplan, Rittal is digitising processes in enclosure design, planning, configuration and integration that were previously manual. The result is greater efficiency leading to compelling benefits in the investment and operation (CAPEX, OPEX) of wind turbines.

Rittal products deliver the strength, vibration resistance and corrosion protection vital to turbine dependability.

Highly solid and durable AX compact enclosure system helps ensure the pitch system located in the rotor hub operates reliably. To shield frequency inverters and control and safety components in the turbine’s nacelle or tower, Rittal offers modular solutions based on its new VX25 large enclosure system.

The company also provides the Blue e+ climate control system, the world’s most advanced and efficient cooling units, to ensure that perfect temperature and conditions are maintained in the enclosures. Furthermore, thanks to the IoT capability of the units, targeted maintenance can be planned and organised more intelligently.

Rittal’s modular VX25 Ri4Power system allows for the configuration of low-voltage switchgear in compliance with any relevant standards. In addition, options for energy storage systems range from individual enclosures to complete containerised solutions.

Finally, with modular data centre solutions ranging from micro data centres to containers, Rittal offers short latency and maximum security for data processing directly on site.
