American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) has announced that it has received a follow-on order for approximately US$ 20 million in wind turbine electrical systems from Beijing-based Sinovel Wind Corporation Limited.
The order follows a US$ 70 million order received from Sinovel Wind in July 2007 and additional D-VAR(R) orders for grid interconnection of domestic and international wind farms. The order reported today calls for AMSC to ship approximately US$ 20 million worth of customised power electronic systems to Sinovel in AMSC's fiscal year 2008 (ending March 31, 2009) for use in Sinovel's 1.5MW wind energy systems.
