TBEA và chiến lược mở rộng sang năng lượng tái tạo

“Transformation” from a state-owned enterprise

TBEA Co., Ltd., is a typical example of the “revolutionary” transformation in the energy sector in China. In the past, TBEA was a manufacturer of transformers and electrical equipment, and one of the largest developers of power transmission projects in China. Currently, TBEA has expanded its business scope to the fields of renewable energy and new materials.

During the period of China’s economic development under the centralized planning model, TBEA was deeply specialized in manufacturing power transformers.

75 years ago, TBEA’s famous product “China Transformer” was first born in Shenyang. With the experience of a veteran (transformer) manufacturer, TBEA has developed “multi-industry” both in depth and in breadth.

TBEA's first multi-industry development step was in depth (electric wire and cable manufacturing), then in breadth (construction of large power transmission projects). TBEA's second multi-industry development step in breadth was a "transformation" - into the fields of renewable energy (wind, solar energy) and aluminum electrolysis.

Admittedly, it is a very smart development strategy based on the foundation of the past to step into the future: From transformers (first of all to serve traditional electric power fields) to inverters (to serve renewable energy); from electrical equipment to new high-end materials (electric wires and cables); combining the development of renewable energy with on-site aluminum electrolysis, etc.

From a company specializing in transformers, TBEA has now become a global brand in renewable energy.

With advanced product lines

Currently, with the motto "Green energy for a better life", TBEA is maintaining product lines serving the field of new renewable energy development. In which, the main products are string inverters and central inverters.

* TBEA's string inverters (capacity 60÷208kW) are used for small and medium PV projects (off-grid rooftop PV, grid-connected rooftop PV, industrial PV) with a nominal AC output frequency of 50Hz, with a maximum efficiency of up to 99% (according to Chinese standards). This type of inverter is designed for working conditions in the temperature range from -25 degrees C to +60 degrees C, has IP65 waterproof standard, can work at full load at an altitude of 4000÷5000m above sea level and has other main technical characteristics summarized in the following table:

* TBEA's central inverters (capacity 1250÷6800kW) are used for large PV projects on land and water with 12 main product lines, including: TC1250KH-M; TC2500KS; TC2500KST; TC2500KF; TC3750KF; TC5000KF; TC2500KFT; TC3125KFT; TC3400KFT; TC5000KFT; TC6250KFT; and TC6800KFT.

In general, TBEA's products are all intelligently designed, with beautiful, eye-catching shapes, occupying little installation space, easy to combine and have many unique cooling solutions (by air or by water), some are installed indoors, some are installed outdoors.

Business scope from A to Z

First of all, TBEA's business areas are built on the solution of "lowest electricity cost for new energy stations" including all stages:

1/ Project development/investment preparation (assessment of solar and wind energy potential; site selection; project data processing; feasibility report preparation).

2/ Investment/financial arrangement (investment model and financial model; financial cost analysis).

3/ Design (PV station; wind power station; transformer station).

4/ EPC general contractor (power generation items; power storage; grid connection).

5/ Supply of smart devices (inverters; transformers; power metering).

6/ Smart operation and maintenance (TB-eCloud smart energy management platform).

Implementing Effective Projects

The list of TBEA's implemented projects is summarized as follows:

Becoming a global enterprise

With more than 20,000 employees, 14 production bases in China, 2 overseas bases, 20 representative offices around the world, TBEA is currently one of the active members implementing the national strategy of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative in the field of power construction and is supplying the global market (including 70 countries and territories) with key products such as: Transformers; electric wires and cables; renewable energy and aluminum metal.

TBEA's development scale in the global market has achieved amazing milestones (as of mid-2019):

1/ The world's No. 1 "turnkey" contractor (EPC) in terms of solar panel installation capacity.

2/ Installing more than 5,000 grid-connected transformer/inverter stations.

3/ Produce 12 GW of solar and wind power capacity.

4/ Design 11 GW of solar and wind power capacity.

5/ Produce more than 25 GW of inverter capacity for more than 1,000 solar power stations worldwide.

6/ Produce 5 GVar TSVG [Static Var Generator 35kV (+5kV adjustable)/1-120 Mvar].

7/ Have a main PV manufacturing facility of 50,000 m2 with a manufacturing capacity of more than 10 GW.

8/ Have a team of more than 300 employees who are scientists, leading experts specializing in research and development (R-D) with more than 400 patents registered worldwide.

Regarding the enterprise, TBEA is ranked as follows:

1/ 224th in the “Top 500 industrial machinery manufacturers in the world”.

2/ 277th in “Top 500 Chinese Enterprises”.

3/ 9th in “Top 100 Chinese Industrial Machinery Companies”.

4/ 47th in “Top 500 Brand Values in China”.

In China, TBEA has established 3 listed companies with a total capitalization of 88.7 billion RMB and a total sales revenue of 50 billion RMB (2015); 1 national-level UHV transformer technology research center; 4 national-level laboratories; 5 technology centers. In addition, TBEA has a transformer, equipment and power cable manufacturing base in Karjan Gujarat (India) registered under the name TBEA Energy (India) to develop the Indian, African, Middle East and other markets.

TBEA has won 1 special award, 4 first-class awards and 1 second-class award for national scientific and technological progress, China Industry Award, National High-tech Enterprise, National Technology Innovation Model Enterprise, etc../.
