Comparing Costs and Carbon Dioxide Emissions of Diesel Generators vs Wind Turbines

Comparing Costs and Carbon Dioxide Emissions of Diesel Generators vs Wind Turbines

The impetus for this report was a question: “If you used an Uprise Mobile Power Station instead of a diesel generator, how many trees would it take to match the carbon offset?” In other words, diesel generators emit a significant amount of carbon dioxide in the process of generating electricity; the Mobile Power Station, on the other hand, generates carbon-free electricity. Therefore, how many trees would it take to absorb an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide as would be saved when generating electricity from a Mobile Power Station instead of a diesel generator? Internally, we performed a thorough study to answer this question which resulted in a comprehensive Engineering Report.

Uprise Energy has formed a partnership with Idaho National Laboratories (INL), a division of the US Department of Energy, to develop innovative renewable energy systems for distributed microgrid applications. To consummate the partnership, INL purchased an Uprise Energy 10kW portable wind turbine for R&D and demonstration purposes. The purpose of choosing these charts to use in this blog was simply to show visually that the power generated by the MPS varies closely with the wind speed.

It was right at this moment that history was made. Never before has a portable wind powered power generator been towed over a thousand miles on US highways, across several states, set up in less than an hour of reaching the final destination, and immediately able to flow 9 kW into an on site device. This is exactly the technology that everyone in the energy industry is speculating about right now. And this shows that we have it and it works flawlessly.

Wind Turbine Performance Exceeding Expectations

Wind Turbine Performance Exceeding Expectations

We have very exciting news to share! One of the primary benefits of our Portable Wind Turbine is the fact that it will generate electricity in much lower wind speed conditions than traditional wind turbines. This is possible due to many factors, but two key features are: the efficiency of our wind blade design and our proprietary Dancing with the Wind technology.

Showcasing Autonomous Control

Today we are sharing a video showcasing the way our Portable Wind Turbine applies our proprietary technology to autonomously control the rotor RPM to ensure that the optimum wind speed to tip speed ratio is maintained. This is done to ensure that we are capturing the maximum power possible from the kinetic energy provided by the wind. That is a lot of technical speak for what we refer to as “Dancing With the Wind.”

The AFWERX Fusion 2020 Showcase - building the Base of the Future - is now in the books and we want to share what a great experience Uprise Energy had sharing our Portable Wind Turbine with the US Air Force, the US Department of Defense, US Allied Forces from around the world and other innovative companies that were invited to the Showcase.
