Gamesa, a Western-owned company, has established a wind power research and development center in Singapore.

  • 2011-05-16

Spanish wind power equipment giant Gamesa is poised to become a wind turbine university, having recently established a research and development center in Singapore. The center will collaborate with the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, and the Singapore Institute of Technology on three projects to research and develop advanced wind power materials. The center is expected to employ 30 engineers by 2014. Gamesa's choice of Singapore is purely based on technological considerations, breaking with the traditional practice of establishing R&D centers focused on the market. As wind turbines are trending towards larger sizes, CEO Jorge Calvet believes it is essential to develop advanced materials to manufacture lightweight and flexible generators, while also studying the feasibility of adapting power generation equipment to local terrain and weather conditions. Furthermore, with the increasing importance of offshore wind power technology, the impact of ocean, salinity, and wind on generator components remains to be explored. Overall, Gamesa's agreement with Nanyang Technological University focuses on fan blade coatings as its main research area, integrating them into its manufacturing processes. Its collaboration with the National University of Singapore emphasizes the monitoring of composite materials and their industrial applications. The company will also work with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) of Singapore to study the behavior of carbon fiber multimolecules in fan blades when incorporating "nano-reinforcement," and such collaborations may also lead to other avenues for exploration. Gamesa plans to invest €250 million annually between this year and 2013, with €500 million allocated to research and development. However, the company did not disclose the amount invested in its Singapore R&D center. In addition, €55 million will be allocated to research on offshore technologies. The Western company aims to establish 10 new R&D centers this year. It has already established centers in the US, India, and Singapore as planned. Other centers to be established include offshore research institutes in Brazil and Scotland, with the latter potentially located in Glasgow, though this is not yet finalized.
