[{"type":"text","content":"Company to Exhibit at WindEnergy Hamburg Event on September 24 – 27th, 2024\nLAFOX, Ill., Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL), a global provider of engineered solutions for renewable energy and other power management applications, will be exhibiting at the WindEnergy Hamburg Event (Stand # B2.OG.165) on September 24 – 27, in Hamburg, Germany. Richardson Electronics will showcase its line of ultracapacitor pitch energy modules (ULTRAPEM™ and ULTRA3000®) and other product solutions for wind turbine platforms. These solutions will be introduced to the European market and are custom-designed for the following wind turbine technologies*: GE, Nordex, Senvion, Alstom, and Suzlon. One of the products Richardson Electronics will showcase is the ULTRA3000®, a drop-in replacement for lead-acid batteries used in electric pitch systems within wind turbines. Pitch Energy Modules (PEMs) store and manage the energy required to adjust the blade angles to ensure the effective operation of the wind turbine. The improved life span of the patented ULTRA3000® reduces maintenance requirements and significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with lead-acid batteries. “For many years, Richardson Electronics has had a strong presence in Europe. We are well positioned to expand into Europe with our latest custom-designed and engineered solution for various wind turbine platforms, as they have already seen great success in North America. This is a very exciting time for Richardson, and we are looking forward to this event,\" stated Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Power & Microwave Technologies and Green Energy Solutions groups. Richardson Electronics has reached a significant milestone with the shipment and installation of over 55,000 patented ULTRA3000® pitch energy modules (\"PEMs\"). This achievement marks the largest retrofit of ultracapacitors for pitch energy modules in North America.
