Today, wind energy represents nearly 5% of US electrical generation - a figure likely to reach 20% in the foreseeable future.
Wind Turbine Step-Up (WTSU) transformers play a crucial role in this scheme of energy generation. The unique problems posed by wind farms also mean that building, choosing and optimizing the use of WTSU transformers is carefully analyzed and evaluated on individual needs.
Across their life, WTSU transformers have to cope with:
- Varying loads
- Rapidly fluctuating voltages
- Harmonics and non-sinusoidal loads
Want to know more?, The Pacific Crest whitepaper ‘The Unique Role of Wind Turbine Step-Up (WTSU) Transformers’ goes into the subject with the kind of depth that only 90 years of experience can bring.
