The latest hybrid switchgear support China's first 66-kilovolt
offshore wind farm in reducing carbon emissions

Challenge
Hitachi Energy’s latest high-voltage hybrid switchgear for
offshore wind application is the first-of-its-kind to enable the
collection grid between the wind towers to operate at a
higher voltage level. Offshore wind turbines typically operate
at up to 5-megawatt (MW) generation capacity and 33-
kilovolt (kV). However, the growing demand for renewable
energy has led to the increase of generation capabilities
currently at 14 MW and is expected to reach 20 MW,
by 2030. Hitachi Energy has introduced a 72.5 kV high-
voltage hybrid switchgear, Plug and Switch System (PASS)
M00 – Wind.

Solution
This innovative solution will be installed at
China's first 66 kV offshore wind
farm, Huadian Yuhuan Phase 1 to optimize
the energy landscape in the Yangtze River
Delta. Hitachi ABB Power Grids will supply 22
units of PASS M00 – Wind to Dongfang Electric
Wind Power Co. Ltd., a leading wind turbine
manufacturer in China.

Impact
Scheduled for completion at the end
of 2021, Huadian Yuhuan Phase 1 will supply 770
million kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity to power
approximately 240,000 households in the
Zhejiang province per annum. This decreases the use
of fossil fuels by reducing around 584,000 tons of
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, equivalent to more
than 12,600 passenger vehicles driven for one year.
