Keeping your balance with high-speed applications
What’s the best choice of technology for high-speed machines that run much higher than 3000 rpm?
Shaft generators and vessel grid quality:
The aim to reduce a fuel consumption while following emission standards is driving the need to make marine technology greener. So what’s the solution?
CHP – a cleaner and more efficient way to generate energy
CHP systems used in energy generation are making their impact on providing energy more efficiently than conventional systems.
Immunize yourself against fluctuating oil prices
How can you become immune to the dependency on subsidies and the wild fluctuations in oil prices?
A gearless redesign
During times of a flat economy, many companies start rethinking their operations to better match the evolving needs of their customers. Is now the time to rethink your designs for a smarter approach to the future?
Is your ship outdated before its time?
The world is moving ahead. Yet those who stick with tried and true technology may soon realize that they can no longer keep pace.
As energy needs change, so must the service
Two main issues are dominating the discussions in Asia: China’s feed-in tariff reduction from June 2015 onwards and operational cost reduction and pollution control in marine. Given this scenario, NDRC is trying with all means to push IPPs and wind turbine OEMs to look for fresh opportunities overseas. But how is it possible to make this happen?
Increasing the level of integration
When looking at the future of drive trains for wind turbines, it’s clear to see that the winner is the medium-speed drive train. This is because the medium-speed drive combines the advantages of solid reliability with lower losses and higher efficiency.
Practically 100% of all new turbines use FPC
It’s taken awhile, but the wind power generation market has now come to the point that we’ve been prophesizing the entire time. And it seems our belief has proved to be correct.
Uplifting wind in Hamburg
During WindEnergy expo in Hamburg, The Switch organized a drive train technology debate on PMG vs DFIG together with Recharge. The Debate was lined up with top wind power business and thought leaders, discussing the benefits and concerns about the FPC and the ways it can save the cost of energy.
Co-juvenating our future
Co-juvenating! It’s a new term based on the idea of “rejuvenating” that was created for The Switchians to capture the spirit for their future. It’s a new day, with a new owner – and an enhanced opportunity to succeed.
