Hitachi Energy Ltd, a Swiss supplier, has secured a transformer and switchgear equipment order for a 280 MW offshore wind project in China, developed by China General Nuclear Power Corp (CGN).
Hitachi will provide the 35 wind turbines in the wind farm with 66-kV WindSTAR power transformers and 72.5-kV high-voltage hybrid switchgear PASS M00-Wind, enabling the facility to run continuously at 66-kV voltage level. The products will contribute longer transmission distances, fewer losses, and more cost-effective operation.
Tuci, the offshore wind project in Zhejiang province, will deploy 8 MW turbines and is situated off the northeastern coast of Xiangshan. The wind farm is anticipated to be operational by the end of 2022. It is expected to generate around 840 million kWh a year, supporting China’s 2060 carbon-neutrality target.
