Siemens: New AC Grid Access Solution
March 11, 2015 + + + Siemens has launched a
new alternating-current (AC) grid access solution at EWEA Offshore
conference in Copenhagen for connecting near-shore wind power plants to
the grid. It replaces the conventional AC transformer platforms. The new
solution consists of an offshore transformer module (OTM) attached
directly to a wind turbine, and acts as a distributed transmission asset.
Nominally rated in incremental 250 megawatt blocks it can be linked
together to provide the required transmission capacity even for very large
wind parks. The new device can be installed on a wind turbine foundation
separately. As an alternative, it can be installed at the transition piece
between foundation and turbine shaft like a balcony. It is suitable for
all wind power turbine models.
