The impact of the uncertain global economy and the momentary dip in the Chinese wind power market have been felt even by Finnish wind power industry players. Despite challenging market conditions, Finland-based key component manufacturer The Switch continues to aim towards international success. The company has been able to demonstrate that wind power energy can be produced cost effectively with advanced technology.
On Thursday, June 21, 2012, The Switch will be presenting a fully integrated, medium-speed drive train concept for 3 MW+ wind turbines including its advantages compared to currently available drive train solutions at the 4th Wind Energy NRW Industry Day.
Moventas, one of the industry’s leading wind gear manufacturers, and The Switch, a leading supplier of megawatt-class permanent magnet generator and full-power converter packages, today announced they are delivering the first commercial order for FusionDrive®, the smartest gear and generator combination in the market.
The first delivery is going to Germany-based DeWind, one of the most experienced technology companies in the wind energy sector today and a subsidiary of Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering co ltd.
Minister of economic affairs, Mr Jyri Häkämies, and the Finnish wind industry warmly welcome you to join us for some breakfast and interesting discussion about Finnish solutions to global wind indystry challenges.
Finland’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Mr Jyri Häkämies, will be present and open the discussion. Wind gear manufacturer Moventas, generator and converter supplier The Switch, wind turbine provider Mervento as well as Wärtsilä, providing services for offshore utilities, will showcase their problem solving skills and concrete cases.
The wind power business has experienced difficulties over the years in different continents. In 2009, the financial crisis squeezed money from the European market. In 2010, the US market slowed down. And most recently, China cooled in 2011.
We have been able to navigate in this turbulent environment, even though The Switch, too, has experienced challenges. Many potential projects have not turned into the planned volume production. Many of our customers have experienced challenges to enter the market, changed ownership or have given up on the wind turbine business.
We have analyzed our success factors – and come to the conclusion that we embrace certain rights, giving The Switch the freedom and ability to excel even during hard times.
