American Superconductor Corp. reports it has landed $10 million from a Chinese company for electrical components for wind turbines.
Under the deal, Devens-based AMSC will provide CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute Co. Ltd. with components for 1.65-megawatt wind turbines designed by AMSC’s Windtec subsidiary. The Chinese company licensed the turbine technology in 2006 and has the rights to manufacture, use and sell AMSC’s system.
CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Research Institute is based in Hunan province in China and is a subsidiary of manufacturing company China South Locomotive & Rolling Stock Corp.
This is the third such order for AMSC this year. Last month, AMSC won a $70 million initial order from Shenyang Blower Works (Group) Co. Ltd. for full wind turbine electrical control systems. In January, Chinese manufacturer XJ Group Corp. ordered 100 sets of wind turbine electrical components.
