For decades, off-grid farms relied on expensive diesel generators or impossibly costly grid extensions. Uprise Energy solved this with the first commercially-viable portable wind turbine—a 12kW system that deploys in under an hour and saves farms $40,000+ annually in fuel costs.
Energy markets around the world are undergoing a fundamental shift. Populations are growing, electrification is accelerating, and new technologies like AI and robotics are driving per-capita energy demands higher than ever. The simple truth is this: the world needs more power; power in all forms, in more places, delivered more reliably.
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.
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.
Renewable energy is imperative. While no renewable source is the answer for all of our energy needs, wind energy has its attributes. Unlike the sun, wind is everywhere all the time. Wind power has become reasonably cost effective compared to other renewable forms. However, wind is not as cost ef
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.
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.
