<strong>Wind</strong> Farm Solution | MV CollectionProtect your turbines;connect your wind farmOptimize equipment safetyand availability through MV Collection> 30The years ofexperience we have,with 10,000 MV/LVsubstations beinginstalled each yearall over the world.When dealing with more than just a singleturbine, harvested energy must be collectedbefore it’s brought <strong>to</strong> the power station.To do this as safely and efficiency as possible,wind farm opera<strong>to</strong>rs need a system for MVCollection. This includes such equipment astransformers, switchgears, and kiosks <strong>to</strong>name a few.But what puts Schneider Electric’s solutionsabove the competition is the fact that allthese products have been designed <strong>to</strong> work<strong>to</strong>gether, ensuring electrical, mechanical,and communication compatibility. And, eachaspect of the solution contributes <strong>to</strong> the overallproductivity of the wind farm in its own right:>> SF6 insulated switchgears that ensurethe electrical installation is optimized,has improved performance and betterservice continuity.>> <strong>Wind</strong>-dedicated transformers that arehighly efficient and proven reliableagainst a variety of environmental hazards.>> Cus<strong>to</strong>mized, prefabricated substationsthat improve network efficiency andmaximize electricity production.>> A complete electrical installation thatallows you <strong>to</strong> better manage yourmaintenance costs.Also, however, the transformer and theswitchgears have been specifically tailored<strong>to</strong> wind farm constraints: while all are especiallycompact, the switchgears, for instance, arepurposely designed <strong>to</strong> be a mere 60 cm,allowing them <strong>to</strong> pass through the door ofa wind turbine.And if you want <strong>to</strong> ensure that your projectgoes smoothly, look no further than ourown Projects and Engineering Centre.There, we bring more than 50 years ofexperience <strong>to</strong> the table, helping youdevelop innovative value proposals usingour cutting edge expertise. To learn moreabout these and other consultancy options,see Page 20.All of our products have been designed <strong>to</strong>work <strong>to</strong>gether, ensuring electrical, mechanical,and communication compatibility.14 | Schneider Electric Solutions for <strong>Wind</strong> <strong>Power</strong>
