New TVSS Success Story - Teamwork grows US Wind Turbine Market

LEAN Controls, eliminate waste, reduce connections, decrease panel size

Best Practice – success story:
Decreases panel size by 50%; installed cost by 21%

The North American, renewable energy, power production industry is a fast growing market segment that represents a huge potential for a number of custom panel shops and control component manufacturers.

Over the past 5 years, ABB USA has become a recognized supplier for a sizeable cross section of wind turbine manufacturers.

Due to their height, they have especially high exposure to lightning. Wind generation towers need a high capacity and reliable lightning and surge protection. The close cooperation with the manufacturers’ engineers helped ABB’s team to fully understand the requirements for surge and lightning protection in this market. This lead to a 50% reduction in the panel size and a 21% reduction in cost. This created a win-win relationship between ABB and the customer’s engineers.

ABB is now the preferred supplier for TVSS units & systems because of superior electrical characteristics, smaller unit size, ease of maintenance and lower competitive cost. Read the complete story.
