Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract by Technology Resources Energy (TRE) to equip two onshore wind farms in Vietnam with Sensproducts – digitally enhanced transmission equipment. The two wind farms, IaPet-Dak Doa 1 and IaPet-Dak Doa 2, are both located in the Dak Doa district of Gia Lai province in Vietnam’s central highlands and will have a capacity of 100 MW each. The wind farms are part of Vietnam’s ongoing Power Development Master Plan to further push the integration of renewable energy sources and to enhance the power supply.
Siemens Energy will equip the substation connecting the wind farm with the national grid. Amongst other substation assets, the company will deliver digitally enhanced transmission products with advanced intelligence from the company’s Sensproducts portfolio, including connective circuit-breakers, surge arresters and power transformers. Equipped as Sensformer Advanced units, the transformers come with a digital twin, a synchronised thermos-replication of the physical asset, that will allow the operator to manage temporary overloads without compromising on lifetime.
