AMSC Receives $9 Million Follow-on Order for Wind Turbine Electrical Control Systems

American Superconductor Corporation AMSC earlier today announced that it has received a $9 million follow-on order for the supply of wind turbine electrical control systems from Inox Wind Limited (IWL), part of India's Inox Group of Companies. In August of 2010, Inox placed an initial order for 17 of AMSC's wind turbine electrical control systems, which, as the “brains” of the wind turbine, monitor and control its operation and the flow of zero-emission electricity to the power grid. The systems are being utilized in 2 megawatt (MW) doubly-fed induction wind turbines that Inox is manufacturing under a global AMSC Windtec™ license.
