AMSC lands another wind deal in China

subscribe

American Superconductor AMSC has landed initial wind turbine electrical control system orders from China's third largest wind turbine manufacturer, Dongfang Turbine.

The electrical components will be used in DTC's 3MW and 5MW full conversion wind turbines, which were jointly designed and developed by AMSC. Shipments will begin this year, but won't be shipped in larger quantities until next year. No word on the financials of the deal or exactly how many systems would be shipped.

"A powerhouse in China's growing wind power market, DTC has partnered with AMSC to introduce its next-generation wind turbines," said Greg Yurek, founder and chief executive officer of AMSC. "Having been designed for use both on land and at sea, DTC's 3 MW wind turbine has broad applicability while its 5 MW turbine is particularly well suited for the global offshore wind market. We are pleased to receive these initial orders and are happy to support DTC as they launch these advanced wind turbine platforms."

Shares of AMSC are up a couple percent today and continue to hang in around critical support around the $25 level. I believe AMSC represents one of the best green stock plays down at current levels, but it may be a bit too early to jump in just yet.

New fuel cell concept brings biological design to better electricity generation

MADISON - Fuel cells have long been viewed as a promising power source. But most fuel cells are too expensive, inefficient, or both. In a new approach, inspired by biology, a team has designed a fuel cell using cheaper materials and an organic compound that shuttles electrons and protons.

Fuel cells have long been viewed as a promising power source. These devices, invented in the 1830s, generate electricity directly from chemicals, such as hydrogen and oxygen, and produce only water vapor as emissions. But most fuel cells are too expensive, inefficient, or both.
