Woodward Governor Co. signed a multiyear agreement with Nordex SE Germany that will substantially increase Woodward's deliveries of wind power converters to Nordex, according to the company.
As a result of this agreement, Woodward will become a supplier for Nordex's 2.5 MW wind turbines built for the European and North American markets.
Power converters deliver stable, high-quality power to the grid by controlling the voltage and power from the wind turbine generator, so voltage and frequency are constant and independent of the variable rotation speed of the wind turbine, the company says.
Woodward will manufacture the power converters for Nordex at its facilities in Kempen, Germany, and Fort Collins, Colo.
