The Switch received a PM shaft generator order with an option of one more from the energy-efficient solution provider WE Tech for an LNG carrier owned by Saga LNG Shipping Pte. Ltd. Deliveries will commence in October 2016. The Switch’s PM shaft generator operates over the full main engine speed range while generating electricity for…
The Switch has supplied over 6,000 liquid-cooled FPCs for Goldwind’s 1.5 MW wind turbines. A rapid ramp-up from specification freeze to first delivery and on to series production was achieved with The Switch Model Factory approach. High production capacity is ensured by a multi-factory approach. “We believe that The Switch represents the best technology for…
All around us, we’re seeing the real switch happening in energy production. Renewables have already won the fight against old-fashioned energy production. The key to The Switch approach for this has been our full-power converter (FPC).
Runtech placed a multi-million-euro order with The Switch for turbo motors to be used in their vacuum pump systems.
The Switch will deliver its PM shaft generator for an LNG carrier with a 45,000 m3 cargo capacity.
The next generation FPC+ series is now demonstrating first-rate grid performance and an enhanced fault ride-through strategy.
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?
Wind power is back in many ways. The financial crisis has changed the competitive landscape for good. The number of turbine manufacturers and supply chain players has shriveled. This is due to consolidation as well as many stepping out of the wind space, which means that supply and demand are back in better balance. First,…
How can you become immune to the dependency on subsidies and the wild fluctuations in oil prices?
During times of a flat economy, many companies start rethinking their operations to better match the evolving needs of their customers. Is now the time to rethink your designs for a smarter approach to the future?
The world is moving ahead. Yet those who stick with tried and true technology may soon realize that they can no longer keep pace.
The Switch has successfully tested its PM shaft generator in a rigorous bench test in Vaasa. The PMM 1000 direct-drive marine shaft generator certified by Lloyds marks the first of its kind to take advantage of PM technology, allowing ships to gain greater efficiency over the entire speed range.
