Wind energy producers need reliable solutions that protect critical assets, optimize interconnection power quality, and meet IEEE 1547 requirements. These solutions must also mitigate common interconnection challenges, such as variable wind speed, nonresponsive inverter controls, and unexpected voltage excursions.SEL wind power solutions not only provide advanced protection, control, and monitoring capabilities, but also help reduce lifetime cost of ownership by using the industry’s most rugged and reliable electronic devices. Leverage our pre-engineered control system libraries to reduce development costs and streamline the deployment of new energy projects.
Maximize the Availability and Resilience of Wind Power Generation
When you choose SEL, you get a solution that utility providers already trust. For over 40 years, independent power producers and electric utilities have relied on SEL solutions to ensure the stable, efficient, and economical operation of their systems. We build these solutions on the capabilities of the devices we manufacture, which are designed to withstand harsh operating environments, enduring temperature ranges as wide as –40° to +85°C (–40° to +185°F) and exceeding industry standards for resistance to conditions such as humidity, corrosion, shock, electric stress, and electromagnetic interference.Explore our key offerings:
- Comprehensive protection for both offshore and onshore wind facilities, including generators, transformers, collector systems, capacitors, and interconnection substations.
- Wind generation site monitoring and communications solutions that include wide-area networking, cybersecure local-area networking, and local and remote monitoring and event collection.
- Comprehensive power management and control solutions that balance generation and battery storage, manage the point of common coupling, and provide IEEE 1547 compliance.
- Advanced metering and power quality solutions that continuously monitor harmonics and optimize the power factor to ensure compliance with utility company contracts.
