American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) has announced that it has received an initial order for full wind turbine electrical control systems from China’s Shenyang Blower Works (Group) Co., Ltd. (SBW) that is worth approximately US$ 70 million.
The systems will be deployed in the 2MW doubly fed induction wind
turbines that were co-developed with AMSC Windtec. SBW plans to erect
its first 2MW wind turbine in March 2010. AMSC expects to begin
shipping the electrical control systems to SBW in the second half of
calendar 2010 and complete shipments in the first half of 2013.
