High Voltage Products | Hybrid Switchgear Plug and Switch System (PASS) M00 for offshore wind turbine applications Product information Compact, safe and reliable switchgear for a sustainable wind power generation. The energy generated by offshore wind farms is essential to reach the global target of decarbonization and to enable a climate-neutral power generation. The wind farms are expected to bring 300 to 400 GW globally to the power grids in the next 20 years, and the importance of reliable switchgear solutions, capable of ensuring the safe operation is growing rapidly. Committed to sustainable development, we at Hitachi Energy come together to improve the quality of life of people around the world through pioneering technologies. As more renewable power sources join to replace carbon-based energy gradually, we need to ensure our grids remain resilient and become more flexible as they adapt to fast-changing demands and increasing decentralization. The generation capacity of wind turbines is improved significantly during the last five years and the multi-megawatt (MW) turbines have been developed with ratings up to 14 MW. Due to increased power generation capacity per unit, the offshore electrical network between the wind towers switches from 33 kV to 66 kV voltage to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE). This is already a reality in Northern Europe, where the 66kV network is established for new installations. Technical features PASS M00 - Wind is designed to meet the highest industry standards for offshore installations, providing maximum safety for wind park operators, easy maintenance, and excellent resistance to vibrations and harsh marine environment.
