Permanent magnet machines have been utilized with great success in numerous fields to date, including distributed power generation, elevators and hybrid cars. Read on to find out what immense benefits PM generators bring also to ships compared to traditional technologies.
Today, the number of projects involving hybrid solutions or alternate energy sources is exploding. Now, there are plenty of hybrid solutions with proven install bases, and the accessibility and ROI potential of hybrid solutions is starting to get within acceptable parameters. But what will the future bring?
As we pause to spend time with our friends and family during the holidays, I wish you many warm regards. And I hope you, too, have a chance to recharge your batteries for an electrifying new year and exciting decade ahead!
During 2011, permanent magnet machine manufacturers experienced moments of fear. The prices for rare earth materials were spiraling upwards uncontrollably. Since then, the situation has stabilized to a level slightly higher than before the crisis. But what’s the overall situation right now?
We just have to ride the wave with our partners through market cycles and challenges in developing cutting-edge drive solutions.
Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch has developed a maritime solution that is the key to ‘future proofing’ fleets.
In this blog post, we discuss what immense benefits PM generators bring to ships, compared to traditional technologies.
An increasing renewable contribution is good news for everybody. But! The fluctuating nature of power generated from wind imposes difficulties in stable electrical transmission. So how to cope with this?
Yaskawa has completed a strategic investment in Helsinki-based Teraloop, a startup grid- and utility-scale kinetic energy storage company.
