Lloyd Dynamowerke deliver prototype to Huali / Serial production starts

Bremen (Germany), January 2010. – Lloyd Dynamowerke (LDW) has delivered the prototype of a new wind energy generator to the Shandong Huali Electric Motor Group Co., China. Huali is preparing start serial production of the model to meet the demands of the nation’s fast-growing wind energy market. The company expects to produce between 150 and 300 of these generators per year.

Huali had acquired the license to build LDW’s 2.1-MW generators for wind power plants in December 2008. It was already LDW’s sixth technology licensing agreement with Chinese partners. The prototype production in Bremen, Germany, was used to train Huali employees for the serial production process. The company is already one of three major players in the nation’s wind energy market. Wind farm operators recently voted Huali the most dependable supplier of generators for wind power plants.

According to LDW, Chinese companies possessed hardly any know-how regarding the production of wind power plants of the multi-Megawatt class as recently as five years ago. LDW was one of the first companies to enter that market. "Since then we have developed a very trusting relationship with all our Chinese partners," emphasises managing director Berthold Groeneveld.

With several thousand new wind power plants being planned and an annual growth rate of about 30 percent, China is now the world’s most dynamic wind energy market. The country’s government expects investments to continue at the same high rate for at least ten more years.
