The Switch has announced that its first 5MW high-speed drive trains is installed in China for CSIC (Chongqing) Haizhuang Windpower Equipment Co., Ltd (HZ Windpower).
The new Haizhuang PMG5000 generators and FPC5000 converters have been designed especially for Haizhuang. During testing phase, the generators and converters fulfilled all performance requirements. The PMGs and FPCs have been appropriately adopted to operate reliably in the harsh offshore environment for which they were specifically developed. The converter is installed inside the tower’s base floor, which is about 12 meters above sea level; the generator is installed in the nacelle. In total, two The Switch Drive prototypes are now both installed in turbines situated in tidelands.
