Richardson Electronics, Ltd. announced a partnership with Integrated Power Services (IPS) in North America. This partnership allows IPS to supply and install IPS's patented ULTRA3000 pitch energy module to key customers in North America. The IPS Renewables Business provides single-source capabilities for fleets operating wind turbines during warranty and after warranty for the asset life of the machines.

IPS engineers repair, replace, and manufacture to minimize downtime and support run-time commitments. IPS is a distributor for key OEMs, with local, regional, and national inventories, plus a network of used and surplus equipment suppliers. Richardson Electronics' ULTRA3000 is a drop-in replacement for lead acid batteries used in electric pitch systems within wind turbines.

With its true plug-and-play technology, owners can replace one battery at a time on an as-needed basis or retrofit the entire pitch system.
