Visit us at booth #WD16 to learn more about how The Switch permanent magnet generators and full-power converters can lower the cost of energy!

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, will today reveal a showpiece of the industry’s smartest wind gear and generator combination, FusionDrive®.

The real-life size, 3 MW FusionDrive® will be on show at the joint stand of Moventas and The Switch during the Husum WindEnergy 2012 event.

The Switch has taken a closer look at how to decrease the cost of energy. The formula for lowering the cost of energy is ultimately very simple: Lower overall investment and O&M costs, while extending equipment lifetime and boosting the amount of energy generated.

Visit us at Husum WindEnergy 2012 at booth 2F06 and see how to lower the cost of energy for your turbine!

The Switch has been selected as one of the 30 finalists of the 2012 Global Cleantech Later Stage Award organized by the Global Cleantech Cluster Association (GCCA). Along with Eniram and Forchem, two other Finnish companies, The Switch leads a list of more than 4,500 cleantech companies.

Now you can see and measure precisely how we are lowering the cost of energy. At Husum WindEnergy 2012, we will display our actual 3 MW FusionDrive® in real-life size at our stand 2F06.

We are looking for an experienced Key Account Manager to establish, maintain and improve customer relationships. Your primary responsibility will be to develop business opportunities for our permanent magnet generators and full-power converters, mainly used in wind and solar power applications. An additional business we are developing is applications for marine.

The Switch’s utility-grade solar inverter with its rugged outdoor design and totally self-contained liquid-cooling system received certification by TÜV of Germany on June 5, 2012.

Now with CE marking and declaration of conformity to ENEL, The Sun Switch PVI 1000 solar inverter fulfills all requirements outlined in the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006/95/EC and the Directive of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) 2004/108/EC.

We believe strongly in the future of new energy. The way to succeed is to be sure that the costs of producing high quality electricity are as low as possible.

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.
