Massachusetts-based AMSC, a global energy solutions provider serving the wind and power grid industries, has entered into an exclusive license agreement for a wind turbine design with India-based Inox Wind Ltd.
Under the terms of the agreement, AMSC will be the exclusive supplier of electric control systems (ECS) for Inox’s 3 MW-class wind turbine. Further terms and conditions will be set forth in a separate ECS supply agreement between the parties.
Daniel P. McGahn, chairman, president and CEO of AMSC, says, “Our 3 MW turbine design extends Inox’s product line of 2 MW turbines to include 3 MW-class turbines and enables the possibility of market expansion. We believe this will place Inox in a strategically competitive position.”
AMSC’s 3 MW turbine design is required to be certified as having a 3 MW power rating (according to GL2010 onshore guidelines). The turbine may operate up to 3.3 MW under certain grid conditions and certain ambient temperature conditions.
“We remain committed to helping India bridge its power gap with high-performance wind turbines,” notes Devansh Jain, director of Inox Wind Ltd.
