6kV/10kV/20kV to 0.4kV Transformer Solution for Wind Power Projects

Industry Pain Points

Wind farms are mostly located in mountainous, coastal, high-altitude and open areas with harsh operating conditions. Conventional distribution transformers have obvious defects in wind power scenarios:

1. Wind power features random load fluctuation and frequent start-stop, causing long-term light-load operation and high no-load loss of ordinary transformers, reducing power generation revenue.

2. Wind turbines produce continuous vibration and instantaneous impact load, which easily leads to loose transformer structure, winding displacement and accelerated insulation aging.

3. Coastal wind farms suffer from high salt fog and humidity, while northern wind farms face extreme low temperature; ordinary transformers have poor environmental resistance and high failure rate.

4. Wind power stations are remotely distributed, relying on manual inspection with high operation and maintenance costs and difficult fault troubleshooting.

5. Conventional transformers lack harmonic suppression capability, unable to adapt to wind power grid-connected harmonic interference, resulting in poor power quality.
