ABB Dispatches First Wind Power Converter in India
ABB, a big company that makes electrical equipment, sent its first wind power converter to India.
This is a big deal because it shows ABB is serious about helping India use more wind power, which is a clean energy source.
The converter was made in a special factory in Bengaluru.
ABB bought another company's technology to make this possible.
India is becoming a big player in wind power, and ABB wants to help by making things that make wind power work better with the electricity grid.
This is good for the environment and helps India make more of its own energy.
ABB dispatched its first wind power converter in India, manufactured in Bengaluru.
The move follows ABB's acquisition of Gamesa Electric’s power electronics business.
ABB aims to strengthen its commitment to renewable energy and wind power in India.
India is expected to meet 10% of global wind demand and scale installed wind capacity to 107 GW by 2030.
ABB has delivered over 60,000 wind converters globally and aims to expand its serviceable installed base by around 46 GW.
