American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) has announced that it has received an initial order for 17 sets of full wind turbine electrical systems from Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd (HHI).
HHI will use the electrical systems in 1.65MW doubly fed induction wind
turbines it will be producing under a license from AMSC’s wholly owned
AMSC Windtec subsidiary. HHI installed and commissioned its first
reference 1.65MW wind turbine near its manufacturing facility in Ulsan,
South Korea in June 2009.? The company expects it will soon receive
Germanischer Lloyd certification, and it plans to begin shipping wind
turbines to customers by the end of 2009.
