"It is an honor to now be the direct supplier for Goldwind" says Lixin Ren, managing director of Semikron Greater China. "Semikron technology powers nearly half of the globally installed wind power capacity and Goldwind is one of the top five wind turbine manufacturers in the world. This is a perfect business combination. Our goal is to establish a longterm business relationship providing the most efficient technology and best service beneficial to both companies." The power electronics are optimized for wind power applications: SKiiP are the most powerful intelligent power modules on the market with a long service life. The SEMISTACK power assemblies boast a high power density of 12 kW/ litre and a flexible modular design.
"A high quality supplier plays a vital role in the development of Goldwind and helps us grow and stay one of the leading wind turbine manufacturers in China," says Mr. Kai Wu, Supply Chain Management General Manager of Goldwind. "The stateoftheart technology, reliable product quality and professional technical support of Semikron met our high standard of requirement. Semikron's experience in stack design and production gave us confidence that we can work together and achieve longterm success."
In 2009, Semikron expanded its global network of Solution Centers to Zhuhai, China. The new solution center specializes in the design and manufacture of SEMISTACK power assemblies based on SKiiP for wind generators and solar power inverters. Customers can benefit from "made in China with German quality" power assemblies with flexible and customized designs, local technical support, fast deliveries and competitive pricing.
