Wind Energy Distribution

Wind technology is accelerating the global energy transition

The global focus on climate change has led to the adoption of wind energy as one of the primary renewable energy resources. Wind energy is accelerating the global energy transition. And advancements in onshore and offshore wind technology, hybrid energy systems and digitalization are playing an important role in building a sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable energy future.

Governments around the world are developing policies and offering incentives to promote the development of wind energy. And private sectors are choosing wind energy in an effort to reduce their overall carbon footprint and transition to clean energy. And as the industry grows, there is an increasing interest in community-based wind projects, which allow local communities to participate and benefit from wind energy production.

Technological advancements and increased investment in renewables have contributed to global wind power capacity expansion. Also, the cost of wind energy investment has significantly decreased over the past decade as economies of scale and improved manufacturing processes have driven down the cost of wind power generation, making it one of the most cost-competitive forms of electricity.

How we support wind energy production and distribution

Wind energy is often paired with other renewable energy sources—such as solar or energy storage systems—to create hybrid systems. This combination of technology helps provide a more reliable and continuous power supply, especially in areas with fluctuating wind conditions. Housed inside the wind turbine, the role of the transformer steps up the voltage of the electricity produced by the wind turbine so it can be transmitted over long distances across the grid. A substation is often part of a larger wind farm and is used to collect the electrical output from multiple turbines, step up the voltage, and distribute the electricity to the grid. Substations ensure efficient transmission and help protect the system from electrical faults. Energy storage systems can also be integrated into wind energy systems and are used to store excess power generated during peak periods of wind production.
