The Uprise Energy mobile wind turbine utilizes multiple lines of defense to protect itself in storm conditions
Today is a beautiful and sunny day here in Southern California. Our shop is buzzing with activity and we have a lot to report. In fact, there is so much to report that we will be releasing a series of blog posts in the following days and weeks highlighting several exciting new ventures for Uprise En
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.
Back in September 2019, Uprise Energy’s CEO Jonathan Knight was selected to be a presenter at the 24th World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi. This is an event put on by the World Energy Council, which is the world’s largest and most influential energy event covering all aspects of the energy agenda. It
Current services in development by Uprise Energy include engineering our portable wind turbines to be fully functional IoT devices.For the operator of the wind turbine, the turbines will provide connectivity both to and from the machine with full telemetry and real-time data analytics. This allows o
Today I was thinking about the multitude of reports submitted recently by various scientific organizations on the topic of climate change. The reports all unanimously state in very definitive terms that 1) climate change is caused by man and 2) that we are officially in a crisis which if not correct
Here at Uprise Energy we talk a lot about the technology we’ve developed for harnessing wind energy and how our portable wind turbines are able to provide energy where needed for disaster relief and humanitarian outreach. While we are proud of our product, we are also supporters of all things which
Uprise Energy has a remarkable team comprised of accomplished engineers, machinists, marketing experts, fabricators, and managers. We all have a shared vision of our portable wind turbines bringing distributed energy and communication solutions to places where it is needed most. Each of our team mem
It’s that time of year again. The time where houses start getting shiny and big meals are served. The time when holiday music is played at the malls and people travel to be close to friends and family. This Thursday is Thanksgiving, and keeping with tradition, we here at Uprise Energy would like to
Gaining recognition for our efforts is always exciting. It gives us great pleasure to say that we have been voted a finalist in Connect San Diego’s 32nd annual Most Innovative New Product Awards. The final decision for the winner will be announced on December 5th, 2019.
Uprise Energy was a featured presenter at the 2019 Innovation Showcase, follow this link to read about the event and see our presentation.
Video and write-up about a recent test session of the Uprise Energy Mobile Power Station
Distributed wind turbine installations in the United States nearly doubled in 2017 from the year prior.
Our Cofounder and CEO, Jonathan Knight, was on the Beyond Zero Emissions radio show in Melbourne, Australia talking about Uprise Energy and the Mobile Power Station. Here is an in-studio video of the interview that covered a lot of ground and is a great way to learn more about the company background
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.
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
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.
