ABB Transformer Participates in Three Major Wind Farm Projects in China

ABB, the world's leading power and automation technology group, recently announced that it will provide a total of three 50 MVAs for three wind farm projects built by local partners Wuhan Kaidi Holdings Investment Co., Ltd. in Fuxin, Liaoning, Yanchi, Ningxia, and Wangjiang, Anhui. The (MVA) main transformer supports the efficient and reliable operation of the three wind farms.

According to Much, head of ABB's Power Products Business Unit in North Asia and China, "In the field of wind power, ABB is the world's leading supplier of wind power equipment and has solutions for the entire wind power energy chain, including wind power production, access, transmission and control. , And can provide more than 70% of wind power equipment. In China, ABB actively cooperates with industry partners, participates in many key wind power construction projects, provides advanced technologies and products, and delivers clean power smoothly to millions of households.”

In China, ABB participates in the construction of several large-scale land and offshore wind power projects, including the provision of gas-insulated RMU equipment for Shanghai Donghai Bridge offshore wind farm, the first offshore wind power project in China; for Jiangsu Rudong Wind Farm and Nantong Qidong Wind Farm The second phase of the project provides box-type substations and other equipment; it provides all six main transformers for the 500 kV substation in Jilin Tongyu, the substation with the highest voltage rating in the country.

The transformer is the core equipment for the operation of wind farms, and it is the key to achieve efficient and safe power conversion between different voltage grade systems in wind farms. ABB transformers are designed and manufactured with the exclusive transformer star TrafoStar technology, which has the characteristics of reliability and low loss, and can effectively support the efficient and reliable operation of wind farms. Take the three main transformers provided by ABB as an example. Under normal operating conditions, the energy consumption of the products is at least 10% lower than the current average level; the product design life is more than 30 years, and it is at the leading level in the industry, and it is maintenance-free for life.

The transformer products provided by ABB are all designed and manufactured by Zhongshan ABB Transformer Co., Ltd. Zhongshan ABB Transformer Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the design and production of power transformers and special transformers. After more than ten years of continuous development, it has become a leader in the domestic industry and has been selected as one of the "Top 100 China Electric Companies" for five consecutive years.

The three wind farms that use ABB's main transformer equipment are all major domestic wind farm construction projects: Fuxin Wind Farm is the “10 million-kilowatt-level wind power demonstration base” in Liaoning Province; Wangjiang Wind Farm is one of the key wind farms in Anhui Province. The total installed capacity of the first and second phases is 49.5 megawatts; the Yanchi Million-kilowatt regional wind power base is the key wind power project of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” in Ningxia, and the ABB transformer will be used in Yanchi County, which has an installed capacity of 49.5 MW. Well wind farm construction.

Wind energy is an important aspect of China's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" renewable energy construction. With the rapid development of wind power in China, ABB's wind energy business in China has maintained rapid growth for many years, with an increase of 49% in 2010. In 2011, ABB also relocated the global wind energy business headquarters to Beijing to meet the needs of the local market.
