Design Methodology and Technical Attributes of the Uprise Energy 50 kW Portable Power Center

A study of constraints in the wind industry was conducted to guide the development process of the Uprise machine.  The list is long, but here are the ones that effect energy capture.

Why The Uprise Energy Portable Wind Turbine Is Needed

here are many niches that could be served with an off-grid, portable, renewable power generator. This discussion will focus on those that do not have reliable power as a result of not being served by an electrical grid.

Project Summary: Methods to Improve Wind Gust Energy Capture

The energy of a wind gust is typically 8 times that of the steady wind flow. A modern wind turbine has constraints preventing it from capturing the increased energy in a wind gust.  A modern wind turbine, on average, captures 25% of the available kinetic energy from wind flow. 

Problem In The Wind Industry and The Uprise Solution

The problems encountered in generating electricity from the wind and delivering the electricity to a user are numerous.  This post will address the essential element of this industry, converting the kinetic energy in wind into electricity.

Area Under the Curve - The Importance of Capturing Gust Energy

The area under the wind curve is critical to understanding the importance of wind machines and their ability to capture a reasonable percent of that energy.
