The Uprise Energy mobile wind turbine utilizes multiple lines of defense to protect itself in storm conditions
In a recent podcast interview on Boom! It's on the Blockchain, Uprise Energy CEO Jonathan Knight shared his inspiring background story, detailing his family's journey from humble beginnings in boat service to becoming one of the main players in the utility wind space. Knight's experience in the wind
How much does it cost to generate one kilowatt-hour with a diesel generator?
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
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 fo
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.
Uprise Energy was selected to partake in the “VERGE Accelerate” online event this year, also referred to as “VERGE 20.” The event is a program designed to accelerate the clean economy by helping startups who have innovative new ideas and technology. The VERGE series of events is put on by GreenBiz,
We did something today that we believe has never been done before. By anyone. Ever.And we are very excited about it.
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 b
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
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 co
Today we have an exciting announcement! Uprise Energy has been selected to showcase our Portable Wind Turbine at the AFWERX Base of the Future initiative - also known as the AFWERX Fusion 2020 showcase. This is an event put on by the United States Air Force comprising of six challenges.
Today I wanted to share photos from some of the testing we have been doing lately. Since our portable wind turbine is “portable,” it is easy for us to go to where the wind is. Here are some images from testing done on Fiesta Island, Jamul, and in our back yard here at the office.
