ABB introduce new special wind turbine transformer

ABB introduced a new 66 kV dedicated wind turbine transformer that can be mounted on a tower of a wind turbine.
The transformer will enable a new generation of powerful offshore wind turbines to operate at a world record voltage of 66 kV, twice the existing 33 kV level, the manufacturer said in a press release.
The boost in voltage level will significantly reduce losses and make the wind generation systems more efficient. It also brings lifecycle benefits and cost-efficiency gains.
Five of these transformers have been supplied to MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, to be deployed at the world's first 66 kV offshore wind farm in the UK, located off the coast of Blyth in Northumberland, with the capacity to deliver clean power to 34,000 homes.
As a follow-up order, the manufacturer will provide another 11 such transformers in a large offshore offshore wind turbine at a European offshore wind power center located about 2.4 km from the Aberdeen coast.
