The challenges of offshore wind power
Installing and operating transformers with marine conditions
- The harsh environment makes the installation, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind turbines and substations challenging, with a high focus on technical demand.
- Ambient exposure, corrosion, vibrations, and inclinations of mechanical structures require non-standard transformer solutions.
Connecting power to the grid over long distances while entering deeper water
- Transformers are critical assets for wind turbines and substations, as they are required to generate, collect, and connect power to the grid.
- Thus, the maximum reliability, availability, and maintainability of a transformer is a must.
Reducing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) despite complex projects and conditions
- It is as complex as it sounds – connecting power from offshore to the grid is not an easy task. Nevertheless, the Cost of Energy needs to be reduced yearly to maintain competitiveness and business attractiveness for the generation source.
- For this purpose, our transformer team offers global and local engineering and service support, innovative solutions, and continuous R&D investments that seek to optimize the project’s timeline.
