The Switch announced today the appointment of David Zhao in the position of General Manager for China. This hiring of Zhao underpins The Switch’s long-term ambitions to establish itself as the preferred partner in permanent magnet generators and full-power converters in a market in which The Switch has been extremely strong.
The gear and generator combination, now in commercial production for DeWind, is a joint effort of The Switch and gear supplier Moventas. FusionDrive® is the most advanced gear and generator combination in the world, with an astonishing efficiency. The overall drive train efficiency with both partial loads and nominal output has proven to be best in class and will lower the cost of wind energy.
The Switch, a Finland-based supplier of permanent magnet generator and full-power converter packages, announced today that its first 5 MW high-speed drive trains installed in the field in China for CSIC Haizhuang Windpower Equipment Co., Ltd, a Chinese wind power equipment manufacturer, are now successfully operating.
The EWEA Annual Event 2013 buzzed with talk about how the wind industry can become more competitive. The wind industry has taken a beating. But much progress, too, has been made.
Thank you for stopping by to see us at our stand.
Let’s compete better – together!
