On October 17–19, China Wind Power celebrated its very special 10th anniversary. Of course, this year again The Switch was there too – to celebrate this festive edition together.
WE Tech will deliver its direct-drive PM shaft generator solution with PM generators from The Switch to a series of two chemical tankers.
The Switch will deliver PM shaft generators for 2 bulk carriers.
The Switch will deliver its PM shaft generator for an LNG carrier with a 45,000 m3 cargo capacity.
The Switch has received repeat PM shaft generator orders from WE Tech Solutions. This repeat order signals a strong belief in the company and provides a solid order backlog as The Switch continues to advance drive train technology under new ownership of Japan-based Yaskawa.
The Switch and WE Tech signed an agreement for the delivery of four direct-drive 1.5 MW PM shaft generators. This strengthens the position of The Switch as it uses its proven track record of applying PM generator technology successfully in the wind power industry now to a range of marine applications.
This year’s China Wind Energy Association (CWEA) Conference was held on Saturday, January 11
Upgrading to the latest technology is indeed possible. The way is to simply change your business model and go beyond vertical integration, embracing an asset-light, flexible business model based on financially sound principles to better respond to market demand. This allows you to reach a much higher strategic approach in doing business with customers over the long run because you can constantly anticipate and satisfy their demands.
Effective April 1, 2009, The Switch entered an agreement with Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. (MIS) for the servicing of wind turbines in North America. Magnetech is a leader in the repair, remanufacture and maintenance of commercial and industrial electro-mechanical equipment.
Wind turbines are among some of the many types of heavy equipment in which Magnetech is specialized, providing comprehensive up-tower and in-shop services for wind turbine equipment.
The wind power industry has been under pressure during this year as expected. Still, it now looks like the largest markets of China and the US are moving forward. This brings higher hopes for 2014, which should materialize into orders already this year.
At The Switch, we have enhanced our strategy. We are concentrating even more to bring value to our customers. Our employees have analyzed and discussed how they can promote greater customer value in their work.
In summer 2008, The Switch and its Chinese partner Dongfang Electrical Machinery Co. Ltd (DFEM) entered into a cooperation agreement to combine world-class technology in permanent magnet (PM) generators from The Switch with DFEM’s vast production capabilities. According to the contract signed in December 2009, the enterprise will now take off with 2.2 MW wind power generators manufactured in DFEM’s brand-new factory in China.
DFEM recently inaugurated a new factory in Deyang, in the southwest Sichuan Province in China, where it is able to produce up to 2,000 PM generators per year in the range of 1 MW to 6 MW. With this mass production capacity at hand, The Switch and its partnering company DFEM are ready to supply the fast-growing market for megawatt-class PM machines.
