Hedley is engaged in the Renewable Energy sector, which is a fast-growing and innovative industry. Energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power and hydrogen fuel etc. There is race on for a faster and fairer energy transition. It’s great that our engineers can play a part in the transition to clean energy and more sustainable practices.

For Renewable Energy applications the power levels vary widely and the extremes are uncertain.
Solar
Hydraulic power units for solar energy
Hydraulic system using hydraulic accumulators to store hydraulic power and utilise solar power to generate and store a reservoir of high-pressure hydraulic fluid that can be used as required to operate subsea valves on a mooring buoy.
Wind
For wind turbines to be successful the gear box needs to be robust, reliable, and long lasting and minimise wastage.
Hydraulic cylinders are used in pitch control systems, allowing the angle of the rotor blades to be varied quickly and precisely through a cam action.
Employment of effective filtration and taking care sizing these devices (eliminating pressure loss) and condition monitoring solutions for consistent reliable operation and minimising operation costs.
Water (tidal energy)
