Brazil: GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business has signed an agreement with major Brazilian utility company Engie Brasil to expand the company’s Campo Largo II wind farm substation.
To support the environmental sustainability of the Campo Largo complex, located in Sento Sé in the northern state of Bahia, GE will deliver two 200.000 kVA and 230 kV power transformers that use vegetable oil as an insulating medium and refrigerant in place of mineral oil.
Considered as one of the largest equipment of its kind in South America, this transformer technology supplied by GE provides for a greener operation through its use of non-toxic and 99 % biodegradable vegetable oil. Another important benefit of vegetable oil is that it is not flammable, reducing the risk of fire and the associated need for preventive measures.
In addition to the delivery of transformers and high voltage equipment— such as circuit breakers, switches, measuring transformers, and disconnect switches—the contract with Engie also awards GE the responsibility for engineering, electromechanical assembly, civil works, materials supply, automation, and all substation commissioning.
