Video and write-up about a recent test session of the Uprise Energy Mobile Power Station
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
This is the story of how Uprise Energy was selected to participate in the Startupbootcamp Energy Australia accelerator program and our experience to date.
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
Rated output, also known as Nameplate rating, is determined by the wind turbine manufacturer, based on their chosen wind speed. The rated output can be a high number or a low number, depending on the wind regime chosen for performance calculations. In its current state, there is no unified approach
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.
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.
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
Our portable wind turbines are a perfect example of cutting-edge technology working towards that goal. But how do we know that our efforts are inline with the overall direction the clean energy industry is heading?
When reviewing electrical power options for remote (often times off-grid) regions, there are three primary options one would likely consider: Solar Power, a Diesel Powered Generator or a Wind Turbine. Comparing these three is interesting, but not always equivalent.
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
The following narrative demonstrates the benefits of a hybrid energy system where the principal components, solar panels and wind turbines, work in conjunction with an energy storage and power grid system.
