Industry Context & Operational Characteristics
Wind power projects are mainly deployed in inland mountainous areas, coastal wind fields and offshore wind farms, featuring extremely harsh outdoor operating conditions. Wind power generation has strong randomness and volatility with frequent wind speed changes, resulting in severe voltage impact and frequency fluctuation on grid-connected equipment. Wind power dedicated power equipment needs to withstand strong wind vibration, salt spray corrosion, extreme temperature difference and variable frequency operation, with high insulation reliability and grid-adaptive performance to guarantee long-term stable grid-connected power generation.
