Turbines Manufactured by WEG Will Be Installed at the Coxilha Negra Wind Farm (RS), Totaling 302.4 Megawatts, with Deliveries Scheduled to Start in 2023.

Billion-Dollar Partnership Between WEG, One of the Largest Manufacturers of Turbines and Electric Motors in the World, and Eletrosul, a Subsidiary of Eletrobras. The Companies Finalized a Deal for the Supply of Wind Turbines and Services in a Transaction Exceeding R$ 2 billion!

The Largest FPSO Platform in Brazil, Manufactured by Modec for Equinor, Intended for the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin, Will Have 140 Electric Motors

About 40 medium-voltage electric motors, with power reaching up to 13,400 kW, in addition to 100 low-voltage electric motors and five medium-voltage frequency inverters (three of which have a nominal power of 11,723 kW), will be supplied by the multinational WEG to equip the largest oil and gas platform in Brazil.

WEG is already manufacturing the equipment at its factory located in Jaraguá do Sul (SC). The electric motors and inverters will be supplied through clients who manufacture compressors and pumps in Europe and Asia, and will operate these equipment in the Bacalhau field, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin.

The Largest Transformer Produced by WEG Left the SC Factory in April, Heading to the African Continent

The Brazilian giant WEG built, at its factory in Blumenau, in SC, its largest transformer. The equipment, weighing 348 tons each, will be incorporated into the electrical power transmission system in southern Africa, providing reliability in energy supply and directly contributing to the development of the local economy.

The first unit was shipped in early April of this year, and the second, in May, ahead of the contractual deadlines, with the complex logistics of transport to the final destination estimated at 60 days.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
