Solution & Benefits

Our wide product range, from low-voltage Masterpact MTZ circuit breaker and Tesys F contactor to medium-voltage switchgear, has been designed to withstand stringent environments such as in the nacelle of a turbine. Our solutions can be installed in wind turbines up to 4000m above sea level and at a temperature range from -40 to +50C. They comply with all the relevant standards and meet all the needs of networks.
> Reduce downtime and increase the lifetime of your equipment. 
> Lower both your capital and operating expenses by up to 25% through power factor correction & harmonic mitigation
> Increase safety by continuous thermal monitoring and detection of abnormal temperature
> Increase safety with integrated switchgear and transformer substations

Wind farm solutions: MV collection

When dealing with more than just a single turbine, harvested energy must be collected before it’s brought to the power station. To do this as safely and efficiently as possible, wind farm operators need a system for MV collection.

Wind farm solutions: Connection to the grid

Connecting to the power grid brings with it a unique set of challenges: surges, dips, distortions, and, of course, stringent grid code requirements. Even small shifts of power flows can trip circuit breakers, sending larger loads onto neighboring lines and causing chain reaction failures.

Solution & Benefits

We provide the solution to relieve that grid-induced anxiety, to bring you the optimized reliability you need, and to guarantee 99.5% availability. The solution begins with SF6 insulated metal-enclosed switchgear, which is designed to ensure maximum safety in a reduced-space environment. Its design also ensures that it is unaffected by the environment, enabling a superior continuity of service. In terms of grid code requirements, we design and provide everything you need to comply, from fixed LV and MV power factor solutions to real-time compensation systems.
> Up to 25% reduction is commonly achievable in both capital and operational expenses
> Significant reduction in downtime
> Extended equipment lifetime
> Minimized system losses and demand power
> Reduced overloading on the electrical system, thereby releasing useable capacity
> Reduced power factor for low-level harmonics
