Wind farm switching and protection of medium voltage transformers in air insulated technology for substation applications

摘要

Market applications are based on available technologies that sometimes create application standards due to lack of competitive alternatives. However the technology development is the process that never ends and may surprise us providing new safe and also very cost effective solutions for the wind industry, that has not been previously possible in this type of switching portfolio. It looks to be not easy task since turbines are bigger and installation cost efficiency is expected to go down. Therefore it is good that global manufacturers take this challenge. The NALFWind is good example of such a technology development that definitely is very interesting option for 3 MW installations.
