With a focus on harvesting the greatest amount of energy from wind power, it is easy to jump to conclusions that turbine manufacturers are turning to permanent magnet generators as their best response to better annual energy production. Yet, is that all that stands behind the selection of this technology?
We are looking for an experienced project management professional with a sharp customer focus to join our Technical Account team. You will take the lead in our sales projects from the quotation phase through to the development and delivery of electrical machines. Our products are tailored to individual customer needs for different applications in wind power, marine and process industries.
PROKON placed another order with The Switch for 10 units of direct-drive 3 MW permanent magnet generator and full-power converters. This contract follows a previous one for 2 direct-drive prototypes in the same class that will be ready for testing by the end of 2012. These orders strengthen PROKON’s position as a single-source power park provider.
On September 18, 2012 the actual, real-life sized 3 MW FusionDrive® was unveiled in front of a large audience at the joint The Switch and Moventas stand at Husum WindEnergy 2012.
Jukka-Pekka Mäkinen, President and CEO of The Switch, and Arto Lahtela, Senior Vice President, Sales of Moventas, explained why FusionDrive® is the smartest gear and generator combination in the market and were available for further discussions.
