Official Press Release Hitachi ABB Power Grids:
Hitachi ABB Power Grids launches first-of-its-kind high-voltage hybrid switchgear for offshore wind
The latest hybrid switchgear will support China's first 66-kilovolt offshore wind farm in reducing carbon emissions
Hitachi ABB Power Grids' latest high-voltage hybrid switchgear for offshore wind application is the first-of-its-kind to enable the collection grid between the wind towers to operate at a higher voltage level. Offshore wind turbines typically operate at up to 5-megawatt (MW) generation capacity and 33-kilovolt (kV). However, the growing demand for renewable energy has led to the increase of generation capabilities currently at 14 MW and is expected to reach 20 MW, by 2030. Hitachi ABB Power Grids has introduced a 72.5 kV high-voltage hybrid switchgear, Plug and Switch System (PASS) M00 – Wind. This innovative solution will be installed at... ...
