Wind Turbine Foundation & Grid Connection

The foundation is one of the most critical parts of a wind turbine system. Even though it is hidden underground or underwater, it plays a massive role in ensuring the turbine’s safety, stability, and efficiency for 20–25 years of operation.

Producing wind energy is only half the story. For the power to be useful, it must be integrated into the electrical grid. Grid connection ensures the clean energy from turbines flows to homes, businesses, and industries.

How Grid Connection Works

  • Generation – The turbine converts wind into electricity (usually at low voltage)
  • Step-Up Transformer – Voltage is increased to reduce transmission losses.
  • Cabling System – Underground or submarine cables carry electricity to substations.
  • Government Incentives – Avail subsidies, tax benefits, and financial support schemes.
  • Long-Term Investment – Low maintenance and reliable performance for 20–25 years.
