Application of box type transformer in wind power generation system

As the world shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, wind and solar farms are becoming increasingly pivotal in our quest for green energy. At the heart of these renewable power sources lies an unsung hero: the transformer. 

Transformers play a critical role in integrating renewable energy into our daily lives and are essential for converting and distributing the energy harnessed from the sun and wind.

What is a box-type transformer?

Box-type transformer is a kind of power equipment integrating traditional transformers and related equipment. It is a completely sealed toughened box structure with transformers, high-voltage voltage control equipment, low-voltage voltage control equipment and so on. A box-type transformer is a closed transformer and usually composed of an iron core, winding and housing. Its shell is made of insulating material or metal material and contains input windings and output windings. It realizes voltage transformation through electromagnetic induction law. Box-type transformers are usually equipped with cooling equipment such as radiators or fans to ensure stable operation in a variety of environments‌.

Application of box type transformer in wind power generation system

The box-type transformer is mainly used in the wind power generation system to convert the low-voltage electrical energy output by the wind turbine into the high-voltage electrical energy required for transmission. The current generated by the wind generator is generally low-voltage alternating current, which needs to be converted into high-voltage electricity by a box-type transformer. And then the high-voltage electricity is transmitted to the grid in the substation for use by the power supply system. The box-type transformer can also stabilize the voltage in the wind power generation system to ensure the stable operation of the system in the case of unstable wind energy.

Advantages of box-type transformer in wind power generation

Saving cable and reducing line loss: After the box is placed upward in the fan engine room, the cable usage and line loss can be greatly reduced. And the operation and maintenance cost can be reduced‌.

Saving land and construction cost: Box change upward can reduce land occupation, construction period and the cost of project‌.

‌Improve operation efficiency and power transmission stability: A reasonable tank transformer configuration scheme can balance power distribution, reduce equipment redundancy, optimize project layout, and ensure the stability of power transmission‌.

Various configuration schemes: According to the specific needs of wind farms, different specifications and quantities of box-type substations can be selected, such as 10KV Chinese-type transformer. It is suitable for small and medium-sized wind farm projects and has high cost performance ‌.

Box-type transformers play a vital role in wind power generation. It can not only realize the effective transformation and regulation of voltage, but also has the advantages of reducing loss, improving operation efficiency and saving cost. With the continuous development and improvement of wind power generation technology, the application prospect of box-type transformer in wind power generation will be more broad.
