Renewable Energy

H V Wooding supports the global renewable energy sector with precision components for wind, solar and hydro (tidal and wave) applications. Since 2004, we have partnered with market leaders to deliver world-class parts and assemblies that meet the most demanding performance and reliability standards.

Our expertise covers the entire project lifecycle, from early design support and material optimisation through to volume production. Customers benefit from value-added initiatives such as design assistance, tolerance advice and manufacturability input, ensuring the most efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Wind Energy

We supply components directly to major wind turbine manufacturers and to suppliers of associated power converters, transformers and switchgear. Our customers include GE Renewable Energy, Vestas Wind Systems and Siemens Energy. Projects range from copper and aluminium busbars to radially formed generator busbar sets for offshore wind turbines rated at 6–12MW. We also provide AC/DC busbar assemblies with full electrical testing, as well as electroplating, heat-shrink sleeving, insulation, welding and brazing services.

Hydro & Tidal

For tidal energy projects, we support both design and manufacturing of lamination sections for permanent magnet generators. Our processes include wire erosion for prototyping, with scale-up to stamping and high-volume production. We also design and build special-purpose machines for segment assembly and welding, supported by copper and aluminium busbar manufacture for power conversion systems.

By combining state-of-the-art technology with advanced CAD/CAM capability, H V Wooding delivers integrated production solutions for renewable energy applications worldwide. Our reputation is built on reliability, quality, and the ability to meet the exacting requirements of a fast-changing, highly innovative sector.

It quickly became apparent that the team at HV Wooding were capable of really adding to the performance of the components we were developing.  They were not content with just providing what was initially required, they wanted to optimise both price and performance

We are very pleased with the outcome of this new assembly, and the quality of the item you have delivered is excellent. It would seem the effort put into modelling it has really paid off. What I was hoping to achieve was a reduction in component count, weight and cost and we have achieved all of these. Consolidation of 5 main parts and their related fasteners into this one item. Weight reduction from 13kg down to 6kg! The cost reduction is also significant!
