Wind Power

Wind Power is a critical element of the global renewable energy mix and a major part of the decarbonization strategy for most countries. Wind farms can be located either onshore or offshore with both types of projects expected to increase significantly over the next decade.

Wind is one of the largest sources of renewable power, which will help to reduce the dependance on fossil fuels. Therefore, wind power is a critical element of the global renewable energy mix and vital for the decarbonization strategy of most countries as it is a highly efficient technology that produces energy in a safe and sustainable manner with zero emissions. Wind farms can be located either onshore or offshore with both types of projects expected to increase significantly over the next decade.

Keeping your turibine blades cool and safe

Each wind turbine needs to be effectively and efficiently cooled. Pumps are used in the hydraulic system to cool down the generator which is producing the electricity where Xylem has a wide range of highly efficient and compact cooling water pumps. Xylem’s pumps also help keep the installation safe in the case of a fire.

Ballasting and De-ballasting for offshore wind turbine construction

Offshore wind projects or floating wind farms are incredibly complex. Xylem‘s dewatering equipment plays a pivotal role in the construction phase helping to ballast and de-ballast the installations. Additionally, Xylem‘s dewatering pumps and accessories help maintain the ballast water level in case of fouling on the outside of the concrete leg and other issues.
