Yaskawa Electric Corporation is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Green shipping needs an efficient power system
The way uneven power requirement is experienced on ships is just the same as it is on land. But how to handle this grid stability issue efficiently at sea?
Betting against the wind?
As an investor in renewable energy, you most likely consider return on investment (ROI) to be a key metric when assessing investments in areas such as wind power. Without a doubt, this can be crucial.
US Renewables Business Climate
The PTC has been a very significant driver for renewable energy since 1992. It has been renewed 5 times, the last of which for only one year.
7% more profit for merchant ships
Soaring fuel prices, global overcapacity and lower profits are forcing shipbuilder to rethink conventional power configurations. How about gaining up to 7% profit per year instead?
Next generation drive trains from The Switch are game changers when it comes to reaching the highest energy efficiency, lowering the costs of operation and helping merchant vessels comply with future environmental legislations. By combining our permanent magnet machine with our frequency converter, ships can stay afloat and profit in the sea of fierce competition.
