RENEWABLES
INTEGRATION

Renewables connection to the grid & local distribution networks:

Our energy landscape is changing with the integration of an increasing amount of renewable generation from a diverse range of sources (i.e. wind, solar, biomass, anaerobic digestion “AD” and hydro) requiring to be connected to the grid.

Wilson Power Solutions have been providing the renewable sector with purpose designed power transformers (up to 200MVA) for a number of Solar PV and onshore wind installations across the UK. Past projects include 50MVA 132kV/33kV transformers for solar projects in Hertfordshire, Kent and Cornwall; and a 10MVA 132/33kV Transformer for a Wind Farm in Devon.

We also support leading suppliers of small scale on-site generation packages with auxiliary transformers for connection of mainly farm based, “one turbine” wind power schemes in England and Wales.

Renewables connection to the grid & local distribution networks:

Design, manufacture and installation of a 45/50MVA 132kV/33kV power transformer at Owls Hatch Solar Park in Kent.

WPS manufactured and delivered the 70ft unit within just 5 months, thus enabling the client to meet the March 31st 2015 deadline in order to secure RO support for the project.

The on-site build was achieved in an impressive three days.

It appealed to us to select the product with the best energy efficiency onto our estate. This coupled with the ability for voltage optimisation at source means that the transformers will be saving significant costs over their lifetime. It was in reality a ’no brainer’ to select the Wilson e2 for two recently completed substation upgrade projects.
