As the year opened new opportunities for the wind power industry, our flexible business approach gives you the best way to move ahead.
Visit us at China Wind Power 2013 in Hall E, stand EC10, and learn how to better compete:
• Lower risks and gain more value.
• Enhance your core competences.
• Develop a responsive supply chain.
• Move from fixed costs to controlled overhead with measurable operations.
You’re invited to see how we are lowering the cost of energy. At Wind Power India 2012, we will introduce the industry’s smartest gear and generator combination, FusionDrive®.

Presenting shiny new one-ton Power Drive, The Switch participated at the Nor-Shipping exhibition, which brought together maritime experts from around the world to attend conferences, visit company stands and network.
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems are very popular in high-rise buildings as well as industrial sites and other facilities where they produce heat and power at a reasonable cost. CHP systems can save as much as 40% energy compared with traditional ways of producing electricity and heat separately.
How can you save even more? And simultaneously increase the reliability and safety of onsite energy production and grid interconnection? There are a couple of rather easy ways to improve overall efficiency.
The Switch solid-rotor technology extends the speed capabilities of standard induction electric motors, filling the existing gap for applications running below multi-megawatt powers. Typically, standard 2-pole induction motors reach speeds of 3,000–3,600 rpm and with a variable frequency drive (VFD), can reach speeds up to 4,500 rpm. In high-speed applications, a high-speed gearbox together with…
To further develop high-power electrical drive trains, Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch recently began a research project with Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (LUT).
The Switch is taking part in the Global Wind Day celebrations on June 15, 2011. To mark the occasion, we have listed 7 facts about the power and potential of wind.
Geographic spread: Wind blows strong
At the end of 2010, there was a total installed capacity of 199.5 GW in commercial use in over 80 countries worldwide. The goal is to reach a global total of 1,000 GW of wind power energy production by 2020.
Wind is currently the fastest growing electricity generating technology with its annual new installed capacity growing an average of 27.8% for the past 5 years. To date, The Switch has delivered 5 GW of the world’s total installed capacity.
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?
Quiet yet powerful. Practical yet stylish. Fast yet environmentally responsible. The must-get automobile of the jet set, Tesla has taken the world’s highways by storm. But is there a similar craft that can conquer the oceans? What is the “Tesla of the Seas”?
The global maritime industry is now on the threshold of a committed move towards renewable energy, with hydrogen as the potential acid test in the shift away from fossil fuels.
The Switch launches its new generation, full-power converter (FPC) for utility-grade electricity production.
