In August of 2010, Inox placed an initial order for 17 of American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC)’s wind turbine electrical control systems, which, as the “brains” of the wind turbine, monitor and control its operation and the flow of zero-emission electricity to the power grid. The systems are being utilized in 2 megawatt (MW) doubly-fed induction wind turbines that Inox is manufacturing under a global AMSC Windtec™ license.
AMSC has now received a $9 million follow-on order for the suppl... [more]
122 GE 1.5 megawatt turbines have been deployed in just five months at wind farms in Idaho. The wind farms are now operational and delivering clean energy to Idaho Power Company and its customers, while also bringing jobs to the region.
The wind farms are capable of generating 183 megawatts of energy—enough to power 39,700 average Idaho homes—and are positioned on 11 sites in two topographically diverse regions in southern Idaho (eight wind farms in Hagerman and three wind farms in Burley) si... [more]
