Senvion is proud of its more than 20-year wind power engineering excellence history. Furthermore, Senvion’s adventure in India began in Bengaluru with an R&D setup in early 2015.
In excellence, Senvion, as a wind industry, creates, produces, assembles, installs, and markets a variety of competitive, high-tech wind turbine generators. Senvion uses its turbine blades to function at high, medium, or low wind speeds for many customers.
Senvion
Senvion SA (initially called REpower Systems SE until 2014) was a German wind turbine manufacturer established in 2001. A private equity entity held most of the company’s shares.
Moreover, Senvion India resulted in the merging of several wind companies, including:
- HSW (Husumer Schiffswerft)
- Pro+Pro (a subsidiary of Denker&Wulf and aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH)
- BWU and Jacobs Energie
- Centerbridge Partners
From humble beginnings, Senvion now employs more than 1000 direct and indirect suppliers throughout the Indian value chain. Senvion is dedicated to offering its customers complete quality wind power energy solutions and has developed its own internal data analytical skills.
The downfall of Senvion Turbine
Although Senvion’s demise has been for some time, the wind farm industry has lost a significant technological pioneer in both the onshore and offshore sectors with its closure. In addition, Senvion filed for insolvency in courts in early April 2019, citing pressure on equipment pricing brought on by auctions.
Insolvency
Senvion turbine owners began receiving notices that services would end in a few weeks starting in September 2019. As a result, there was not much time left to choose and implement a new access strategy. However, OEM independence appeared to identify and develop a comprehensive hardware or software refit, which most owners hadn’t budgeted.
According to Wood Mackenzie’s most recent market share prediction, given the recent troubles of the German turbine manufacturer, this is not particularly surprising. As legacy orders from current auctions dry up, the company’s global positioning will decline from a measly 4 percent of the global market to less than 1% by 2025.
Bachmann Approach
Restoring access to Senvion turbines was of the utmost importance. According to Brian Hill, General Manager of Bachmann North America, Bachmann’s customer-centric emphasis led them to create a solution to the development of integrating access, security, and flexibility throughout turbine lifecycles. In addition, the potential for considerable AEP gains makes the solution much more cost-effective, offering a clear ROI for Senvion’s customers.
Furthermore, Bachmann’s approach to strategy and aim was to create a software package that would fully utilize the software that was already in place. It provides owners and operators unrestricted access to all on- and offshore Senvion turbines and PMUs (grid stations) based on Bachmann controllers. The solution allows access without new hardware or type certification. It can be installed and deployed for each turbine in under 30 minutes.
Comeback of Senvion
With the mergers of Siemens and Gamesa, Nordex and Acciona, and eventually Vestas and MHI for the offshore industry, the market has expanded in recent years. The giants have only gotten bigger, increasing their global influence. They have also announced an endless stream of new turbines that promise lower Levelized energy costs.
Senvion changes its name to Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Service.
Consequently, Senvion sold Siemens Gamesa its 9 GW European servicing fleet in October 2019. Whereas by 2021, Saudi Arabian business purchased Sendion India division.
Because of that, together with American-based GE Renewables, these businesses have improved their cost and benefits to positions and connections with international wind developers by expanding their worldwide supply chains and opening up shops in local content marketplaces as needed.
