Making permanent results The Switch was founded in 2006 with a challenger mindset. We wanted to break the status quo in the wind industry by pushing the permanent magnet (PM) generator and full-power converter drive train as the technology of choice. Nearly 15 years later, there has been a shift in wind power technology with…
The Switch received orders for key wind power components from PROKON of Germany. Together with repeat agreements from China, the total order value The Switch received during June is over EUR 100 million, resulting in the largest order backlog in the company’s history.
Celebrating 15 years of permanent performance, we’ve gathered 15 milestones in our first 15 years.
The Switch was established in 2006. So, this year, we’re celebrating 15 years of permanent performance with our customers, suppliers and other partners.
We have delivered thousands of high-speed motors in serial production to several world leaders for their specialized turbo pump and compressors applications. Now, the same technology is introducing motors paired with drives, offering unrivaled cost and size advantages in powers of 100 to 630 kW and speeds of 6,000 to 20,000 rpm.
High-speed solid rotor technology has proven itself useful in nearly every high-speed application. High-speed solid rotors can be used in any application where the load can be connected directly to the electrical machine without a gearbox and the circumferential speed of the rotor is higher than 100 m/s. Developed to address the existing gap between…
Looking at my email history, I see that the term “shaft generator” first appeared in my email conversations in May 2013. So, it has been exactly ten years to date from when we first started to think how we could utilize our permanent magnet technology originally developed for the wind industry in marine applications –…
2017 was a record year for wind energy in Denmark, where wind energy on average covered 43.6 percent of Danish electricity consumption. However, Christmas was something very special, because Danes could enjoy their traditional Christmas duck prepared with 100% wind power!

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.
The Switch had the first run of its new Poseidon Drives test station in Stord. This was also a great opportunity to do a 100% production test for two EBLs to be delivered to Teekay.
Medium-speed permanent magnet generators Up to 10 MW, 100–600 rpm Our medium-speed PMGs operate with a single- or two-stage gearbox. Combining the advantages of low- and high-speed technology, these PMGs offer extremely high availability and reliability, resulting in increased annual energy production. FusionDrive® The most compact medium-speed solution available on the market today, FusionDrive®, utilizes…
