Falcon Electric’s UPS Render Continuous Power Supply to Chinese Wind Farms

Chongqing KK-Qianwei Windpower Equipment Company Ltd (KKQW), a wind turbine controller (WTC) supplying business and Falcon Electric Inc a producer of uninterruptible power systems (UPS), has declared the signing of an agreement and completion of their first order.

KKQW is an existing venture which includes kk- electronic a/s, a producer of WTC systems, and the Chongqing Instrument Factory located in Chongqing, China. The signed agreement summarizes the affiliation between them and their keenness in joining the current wind farm developments in China.

The fast growth of the wind turbine market in China and the huge investments made in the wind turbine market has prompted many of the utility companies in China to work in arrangement with the local wind turbine system manufacturing companies in producing green power. The Chongqing Instrument Factory was selected by one such utility company in Chongqing province which was on the lookout for local manufacturing facilities to provide the required parts for the building of a wind turbine. The company was chosen to build a WTC production facility or to secure it in arrangement with a producer. The company has entered into an agreement with kk-electronic a/s of Denmark and started the Chongqing KK-Qianwei Windpower Equipment Company to complete the WTC production facility in 2009. The current agreement of KKQW with Falcon Electric Inc, will enable them to include the Falcon manufactured UPS systems that are built rugged and designed to withstand high-level temperature. The UPS system is required for the consistent operation of the WTC that is connected to the local utility services.

Arthur Seredian, Falcon Electronics’ President and CEO, elaborated how hot and cold conditions reduces the working life and consistency of electronic apparatus. He said that the SSG UPS series to be incorporated along with KKQW WTC will protect its most important parts from extreme cold or heat. He added that the upgraded batteries are designed to last up to 4 years at 122° F while a normal battery will survive for only 7 or 8 months in that temperature.
