Generators for wind turbines from the traditional company

product report
Among the three letters VEM Sachsenwerk operating since 50 years. This
logo imprinted a group of electric motor manufacturer with companies
located in Dresden, Wernigerode, Zwickau, and more recently, Berlin.
It produces a full range of high and low voltage machines, ranging
from small compacts to large machine and drive system solutions
include increasing. Among the current developments include 7-MW wind
turbine generators of the latest generation as promising and
energy-efficient solution for wind power generation.

The solution concept Vetacon combines a permanent magnet synchronous
generator, which works robust and maintenance, with a modern,
powerful, full converter.

The roots of UEM Sachsenwerk rich but back 125 years: In 1886,
acquired the engineer Oskar Ludwig grief the building permit for a
factory in Dresden's Niedersedlitz. Was the subject of business
registration, according to the then "any kind of commercial
exploitation of the light and power technology and related sectors, in
particular establishment, operation and utilization of electrical
systems and the production and distribution to the serving machine,
apparatus and utensils." Soon, the native of Dresden began his factory
in the industrial production of electric machines. Around the turn of
the century were already working on 2000 people in grief factory.
1903, through the intermediate step of the joint-stock company
electricity works, the company resulting Sachsenwerk Light and Power
AG. "We are now one of the few globally active industrial company that
can look back at the construction of large electrical machines to more
than 100 years of tradition," says Gerhard Freymuth, managing director
of UEM Sachsenwerk.

Hydroelectric power is the new standard

Compared to the current standard of care to deliver lower overall prices WWZ (Waterworks train AG) from 2012, electricity from Swiss hydroelectric power.

New customers have the choice to purchase electricity from alternative local hydropower with an additional share of solar energy, or to continue to flow mainly from nuclear production. "Domestic and commercial customers can say in the future, from which we obtain the power plants for them," says Andreas Widmer, CEO of VVC, the realignment of the offer. "We have noted in interviews that many customers want a basic supply of renewable energy. Lower network charges and favorable procurement prices allow us to offer our customers in the coming year to deliver standard and to lower overall prices electricity from Swiss hydroelectric power. "

Price reductions in train and Hochdorf
In the Zug area supplied 2012 customers benefit from lower prices on average 2.8 percent overall. In addition to the approximation of the village of high energy prices in particular allowing to train the reduction of network costs in the upstream networks to reduce the overall price by an average of 10 percent. As an alternative to the standard delivery of new national hydropower Haushaltsund commercial customers in the train and village high in future have the ability to stream from local hydropower with an additional solar share (+1.8 cents / kWh), or continue to flow mainly from nuclear production (-0.2 Rp . / kWh to purchase).

Choice comes in the fall
In late autumn, the WWZ their customers are fully informed about the new power supply and the appropriate choice.

Fees and taxes: lower system cost of services
In the electricity bill separately designated system services will be reduced in 2012 from 0.77 cents / kWh to 0.46 cents / kWh. These are costs that the utilities on behalf of the Swiss Grid for the stable operation of the national high voltage grid
end users will have to charge.

According to the Federal Council's decision to reduce insurance charges for cost recovery tariff (FIT) from 0.45 to 0.35 cents / kWh, a new supplement comes from 0.1 cents / kWh for added water protection. Thus these charges remain unchanged.
