China-based Taiyuan Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (TYHI) selected The Switch PMG and FPC package for its 5 MW onshore wind turbine, which was successfully commissioned in March 2014. To fulfill the strictest grid codes and reach the ultimate goal of lowering the cost of energy, TYHI selected The Switch as its drive system supplier. Established…
Our first high-speed 5 MW drive train packages were installed in 2013 and are successfully operating for Chongqing Haizhuang Windpower Equipment’s offshore wind power project in China. The Switch began follow-up deliveries to Haizhuang in 2015. Production of the PMG used for the drive train was also transferred locally to Fenxi, a sister company of…
The Switch has provided Dongfang with a second-generation drive train package that combines a 1.5 MW direct-drive, outer rotor permanent magnet generator with a full-power converter. The generator features an extremely solid cast-iron construction enabling series production. Cooperation between the two companies has expanded recently to include several permanent magnet generator licenses.
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, we’re seeing the real switch happening in energy production. The key to The Switch approach for this has been our full-power converter (FPC).
Is the Chinese mergers and acquisition model enough to secure the use of permanent magnet technology?
The aim to reduce a fuel consumption while following emission standards is driving the need to make marine technology greener. So what’s the solution?
WWT selected The Switch’s 500 kW frequency converter for its innovative self-floating power plant to extract potential and kinetic energy from large, fast moving water currents for conversion into electric energy.
MAN Energy Systems, formerly MAN Turbo, chose our solid rotor technology for a high-power compressor of 8 MW, 10,000–12,000 rpm, for a gas application that survives subsea installation with aggressive gases.
