Chile’s RHONA Transforms Energy Landscape with Smart Power Transformers for Wind Farm Integration

7 Aug 2023

RHONA, Chile's premier transformer manufacturer, is making a bold leap onto the international stage by introducing smart power transformers. In a groundbreaking partnership with Norway's Statkraft, RHONA undertook the challenge of providing a 100/133 MVA power transformer, a feat unprecedented in Chile's history. This remarkable collaboration positions RHONA as a key player in sustainable energy solutions on a global scale.

The collaboration with Statkraft, a renowned player in hydroelectric and wind power projects, propelled RHONA onto the international energy forefront. Tasked with supplying a cutting-edge power transformer for a wind farm integration project, RHONA embraced the challenge and incorporated advanced technologies for seamless operation. By teaming up with MR, a trusted partner, RHONA developed a comprehensive monitoring system equipped with sensors and software to ensure efficient performance and maintenance. This strategic approach, combined with RHONA's proximity to the project site, secured their victory in a competitive bidding process.

With the completion of this landmark project, RHONA is poised to redefine the global energy landscape. Their success in introducing smart power transformers marks a significant milestone, prompting the company to expand its horizons and target international markets. Marcelo Ulloa, Commercial Manager at RHONA, states, "We now dare to be of assistance in the large US market, where demand for advanced power transformers is surging." As RHONA continues to innovate and drive sustainable energy solutions, its impact promises to resonate far beyond Chile's borders.
