Wind Transformer

A wind transformer is a specialized electrical transformer used in wind power generation systems to step up low-voltage electricity (typically 300V to 1,200V) coming from the wind turbine generator up to medium or high grid voltage (such as 10kV to 66kV or higher) for safe and efficient transmission across a wind farm.

Overview

Renewable plants present a duty that general-purpose transformers are not designed for: harmonic-rich inverter output, daily load cycling and frequent energisation. Inverter-duty construction accounts for the additional heating this causes.
