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.
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.”
Electrical energy provides great benefits to those who are connected to a grid. For the billions who are not connected to a grid, the solution is local or portable power generators. Virtually millions of small communities, remote and isolated, need small or medium generators. Fuel powered generators are high in cost per kWhr, fuel supply is risky and unreliable. The solution is generating electricity renewably, where it 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.
