by AF 0830 j3 — September 1, 2010—ABB, a leading power and automation technology group, inaugurated its fourth global wind power generator factory, in Vadodara, India. The factory will supply wind power generators, a crucial component in wind turbines, for the growing Indian and global markets.
The new factory will produce up to 100 units per month with a rating of up to 2.5 megawatts. India is currently the world’s fifth-largest user of wind power, and investments in this form of renewable energy are expected to continue to grow in the years ahead. Globally, the demand for energy efficient products and solutions is rising because countries are under pressure to cut emissions while demand for energy is increasing.
ABB supplies a variety of components and solutions for wind turbine manufacturers and operators: from the robots that paint the blades to motors, drives, transformers and low- and medium-voltage equipment located in the nacelle and the products and systems that connect the power to the grid.
