the first two VECO-Drives Drive.

Voith has successfully commissioned the first
two VECO-Drives at a coal-fired power station
in China. Since February 2020, the two sys-
tems have already been running reliably for over
6,000 hours, improving not only the overall ef-
ficiency of the drive train but also significantly
decreasing noise missions and vibrations. This
is another milestone for Voith in pushing ahead
with the continuous electrification of its proven
drive technologies, thus meeting the growing de-
mand for energy-efficient variable speed drives
in the power and oil & gas markets. The two
VECO-Drives have passed all necessary tests
of Guangzhou China Resources Thermal Power The most efficient
Co., Ltd. and were put into operation in Febru-
ary 2020. The units are part of the customer’s
