How successful has Winergy been in coupling a quality focus with the rapid expansion of manufacturing capacity?
Winergy has grown in step with the industry over the past few years but we have kept a very strong eye on quality so that our growth has not come at the cost of reliability. Our quality processes very tough from beginning to end including full load and water testing. We obtain all the data from gearbox noise, vibration, temperature as well as the bearings, which gives a clear indication whether there is something wrong or not. We had an interesting discussion with Henrik Stiesdal, Chief Technology Officer at Siemens, about the future of the wind turbine; will it get bigger and bigger or should the industry focus on optimizing the existing turbine sizes. What are your priorities between optimizing gearboxes for existing smaller turbines or are you focusing most of your efforts on large turbines of 5 megawatts and more? Its both, currently the bread and butter business is still from 1.5MW to 2.5MW. A lot of activities are focussed on optimizing our products in the lower megawatt range, b
