Low Cost Superconductive Generators for Mass Markets in Wind Energy
Bonn, April 28, 2016 – The ECO 5 Team presented its feasibility study Windspeed. This work received partial funding by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, DBU (German Federal Environmental Foundation). Fundamentally, substantial weight reductions and cost advantages releative to all conventional alternatives were shown. For the Windspeed generator a cost potential of 104 k€/MW, or 136 k€/MNm is expected. While this study is independent of EcoSwing and mainly deals with the medium temeprature superconductor MgB2, you will find that certain engineering aspects also apply to high temperature superconductors.

Paris, November 17, 2015 - The EWEA 2015 Annual Event presents an international platform for the wind energy industry to showcase and demonstrate its latest products and services. The event features a broad conference programme, unrivalled networking opportunities and an extensive exhibition. EcoSwing created a remarkable attention at Envision's booth.
