FRANCE — GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business (GE) is supplying digital power transformers for several renewable energy projects worldwide.

Some recent GE power transformer orders supporting renewable energy projects include:

Kintore, Scotland – Following a purchase of two large auto transformers for the Peterhead substation, Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) has ordered two 1,200 MVA 400 kV auto transformers for its Kintore substation. Installation of the transformers at Kintore is slated for completion within the fourth quarter of 2022, GE said in a press release.

Off the coast of northeast England - The GE-Mistral-14, a 14 MVA – 66 kV small power transformer (SPT) will play an important part at the Dogger Bank wind farm. Essential for the proper functioning of the wind turbines, a GE-Mistral-14 will be in each of the 95 GE turbines at the first phase A of the wind farm. The commercial order for the project was signed in March 2021.

Meppen, Germany – The transmission system operator Amprion GmbH placed an order in September 2021 for two 340 MVA power transformers for a synchronous condenser installation at their plant. The transformers should be delivered in the first quarter of 2023 and will help deliver inertia and reactive power for greater grid stability, the manufacturer said in a press release.
