Though North America lags Europe on the wind energy front, with less cumulative installed capacity despite a vast geographical size difference, growth is strong and has only scratched the surface. Huge potential, particularly, exists in offshore installations, which represent just a small percentage of global wind capacity to date.
Ocean-based turbines, both floating and fixed, take advantage of powerful, more consistent wind speeds and a topography that doesn’t obstruct wind flow.

The Switch is offering the most comprehensive portfolio of permanent magnet generators and full-power converters for future-proof grid compliance and maximized energy yields – any power, any speed.
据了解，舒勒集团目前正在拓展风电市场，该公司与斯维奇公司签署了两套永磁直驱传动系统(The Switch DriveTM)样机供货协议。该系统由永磁发电机和全功率变流器组成，将为舒勒集团度身定做。样机预计2011年4月完成测试，并于同年夏天实现并网运行。
2010年2月25日，万塔，芬兰 – 斯维奇公司与德国舒勒集团签署了两套永磁直驱传动系统(The Switch DriveTM)样机供货协议。协议规定斯维奇公司提供两套定制的3兆瓦永磁直驱传动系统，该传动系统包括了定制优化的3兆瓦的永磁发电机及与其匹配的 2.7兆瓦全功率变流器。
RenewableEnergyWorld.com’s Graham Jesmer paid a visit to our facility in Hudson, NH to hear more about our history and find out more about the power converters we’re developing for emerging applications like waste-to-energy.
RenewableEnergyWorld.com的Graham Jesmer访问斯维奇新罕布什尔州哈德森的工厂，Graham Jesmer先生听取了斯维奇的历史及全功率变流器的更多知识。他非常有兴趣地了解了我们的全功率变流器除风电外，亦设计新能源其它新兴行业，如垃圾发电等。

In summer 2008, The Switch and its Chinese partner Dongfang Electrical Machinery Co. Ltd (DFEM) entered into a cooperation agreement to combine world-class technology in permanent magnet (PM) generators from The Switch with DFEM’s vast production capabilities. According to the contract signed in December 2009, the enterprise will now take off with 2.2 MW wind power generators manufactured in DFEM’s brand-new factory in China.
DFEM recently inaugurated a new factory in Deyang, in the southwest Sichuan Province in China, where it is able to produce up to 2,000 PM generators per year in the range of 1 MW to 6 MW. With this mass production capacity at hand, The Switch and its partnering company DFEM are ready to supply the fast-growing market for megawatt-class PM machines.
2008年夏季，斯维奇与中国合作伙伴东方电机（DFEM）签署了一项合作协议，实现了斯维奇一流永磁发电机技术与东方电机大型生产能力的强强联手。按照 2009年12月签署的合同，企业将开始在东方电机全新的中国工厂生产2.2 MW风力发电机。
斯维奇已与东方电机就一套3 MW传动系统签订了一项新的协议，该系统将与芬兰美闻达公司联合设计，后者负责风机的齿轮箱解决方案。此次合作的目的是为东方电机优化面向整个中国市场的产品。东电自启动斯维奇1.5 MW永磁直驱发电机项目后，新订单便接踵而至。
Technology pundit Shawn Lesser picked the top 10 most innovative Finnish companies to watch in 2010.
斯维奇荣获由技术权威Shawn Lesser选出的芬兰“2010年最值得关注的10家创新企业”
芬兰目前正在很广泛的领域投资研发及生产新兴材料与技术，2010年也许芬兰会在洁净技术领域有巨大突破。
