Switchgears

Electricity transport and system control by switchgear 

Depending on the size of a wind turbine, switchgear is required to accommodate the electrotechnical automation and control technology . This makes them an indispensable hub for connecting a wind turbine to the wind farm grid and wind farms to the high-voltage grid. Since the production of these switchgear is often outside the value chain of wind turbine manufacturers , specialized companies are commissioned to do so. These manufacture switchgear according to the respective requirements. For example, there are compact designs that can be accommodated inside the towers or can withstand the humid and salty environment in the offshore sector. The use of a new switchgear is not always necessary, which is why they are also often traded on the secondary market.

Buy and sell used switchgear on wind-turbine.com 

When a wind turbine is dismantled for repowering, it is often conceivable that it can be used elsewhere - sometimes even under better conditions. This also applies to individual components, such as control systems, transformers or switchgear, which are offered for sale second-hand in numerous advertisements on an international marketplace such as wind-turbine.com. Investors can buy wind turbines and components at low prices, invest in renewable energies and benefit from the quality of renowned manufacturers. However, the companies listed on wind-turbine.com not only sell the necessary technical equipment, but also offer their customers equally important services such as the installation of switchgear.
