Marty Mills,VP of Sales for LICAP, and Bryan Mellot, Field Service Engineer for Windurance, will be attending ACP OMS 2023 and set up in Booth 519. A presentation on “Ultracapacitor Energy Storage Retrofit System for Emergency Pitch Control,” highlighting the partnership LICAP and Windurance maintain, will be available.
The presentation highlights the benefits of the dry electrode process utilized by LICAP, including:
- Lower maintenance cost:
- Retrofit is a drop-in replacement
- Retrofit interfaces with the existing Emergency Power Unit (EPU) and Turbine controller (SCADA System)
- Eliminates costly maintenance and battery replacements
- Reduces battery-related pitch faults
- Increased reliability:
- Approximately 10-15-year life
- Wider operating temperature range -40oC to +65oC
- Minimizes turbine downtime
- LICAP uses a laser weld process for busbar connection inside the module, ensuring a robust connection for high reliability and the best performance.
- Improved safety:
- Reduces operational safety concerns
- Can be fully discharged to provide safer working conditions
- Reduces the number of climbs for technicians
- No lead or acid
- No change to lock-out tag-out procedure
- No toxic solvents

Weather Tips for the Conference Dates
The average temperature in Orlando for March is 79°F. Visitors can expect both sunshine and wind, but luckily, little rain. March is one of the driest months in Florida. Fog and wind are possible during March, as this tends to be a more dramatic month in the sunny state.
Pack jeans and a coat or hoodie for the cooler evenings. Humidity is less of a concern during March because of the projected high winds. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
