Sensors for green energy technology
For the companies building the green transition. KP develops and manufactures custom sensors for wind turbines, solar plants, hydrogen and Power-to-X, biogas plants, fuel cells and greenhouses — designed into your technology.
Kjaerulf Pedersen a/s supplies custom-built temperature, humidity, vibration and motion sensors to manufacturers and builders of green energy technology — wind turbines, solar plants, hydrogen and Power-to-X facilities, biogas plants, fuel cells and greenhouses — from prototype to series production.
Wind — from bearing to tower sway
A wind turbine is a complete measuring task: bearing and gear temperatures, nacelle climate, brake and motor wear, tower movement. KP covers it with one sensor platform — temperature sensors designed into the drivetrain, and condition monitoring straight into your SCADA.
Find your technology
Six technology areas cover the green transition. Each links to the matching products in our catalogue.
Drivetrain temperature, nacelle climate and condition monitoring for turbine OEMs and system suppliers.
Temperature measurement in hydrogen production and Power-to-X — with EEX transmitter variants available for classified zones.
Process temperature in digesters and gas systems, plus humidity and dewpoint monitoring with KPH300.
Compact and mineral-insulated sensors for fuel cell stacks and balance-of-plant systems.
Process and ambient temperature measurement for solar plant operation and balance of plant.
Room, duct and process sensors for climate control in modern greenhouse production.

A sensor partner for OEMs
Green energy technology is new technology: new media, new geometries, new duty cycles. That rarely fits a standard sensor. KP builds to your specification — element type, sheath material, immersion length, connection, cable, plug and output — from prototype to series. And KP develops its own sensor technology: the KPV200’s on-board FFT processing and the KPM100’s motion platform are in-house developments you can design into your product.
We configure the sensor to your construction — not the other way around. Compact builds, custom mountings and application guidance from our experts.
Small-volume flexibility while you develop, consistent quality when you scale — all developed and produced in-house by KP.
Temperature, vibration, motion and dewpoint from one supplier — KPV200 and KPM100 are complementary: vibration catches mechanical wear, motion catches structural movement.
Modbus RTU/RS485, Bluetooth, 4–20 mA, HART and Profibus — sensors plug into your PLC or SCADA platform, plug and play.
Frequently asked questions
Which sensors are used in a wind turbine?
Bearing and gear temperature sensors (such as the RTBC series) in the drivetrain, humidity/dewpoint monitoring in the nacelle (KPH300), vibration sensors on rotating components (KPV200) and motion sensors for tower sway and foundation movement (KPM100) — all integrating with the turbine's SCADA platform.
Do you supply sensors for hydrogen and Power-to-X plants?
Yes — temperature sensors and thermowells for hydrogen production and Power-to-X facilities, with head-mounted transmitters available in EEX variants for classified zones. Contact us with your application details and our experts will configure the right solution.
What about biogas plants?
We supply process temperature sensors for digesters, gas lines and heating circuits — including mineral-insulated and thermowell-mounted designs — plus the KPH300 for humidity and dewpoint monitoring. If you operate a biogas-fuelled CHP plant, see Power & Energy.
Can KP develop a sensor to our OEM specification?
Yes — that is our core business. We manufacture to your specification: element (Pt100, Pt1000, NTC or thermocouple), sheath material, dimensions, process connection, cable, plug and output signal, from prototype quantities to series production.
What is the difference between Green Tec and Power & Energy?
Green Tec is for the companies that build green energy technology — turbine OEMs, plant builders, fuel cell and electrolysis manufacturers. Power & Energy covers the operation of energy plants: power plants, waste incineration, turbines and gen sets. Four technologies appear in both areas — the difference is whether you build the technology or operate the asset.
How do the sensors integrate with our control system?
The KPV200 and KPM100 communicate via Modbus (KPV200 also Bluetooth) and connect directly to a PLC. Temperature sensors are available with 4–20 mA, HART or Profibus transmitters for integration with any modern SCADA or building management platform.
