We have joint ventured with\u00a0Siemens Industry which has developed our generator and inverter system. We have designed a\u00a0mobile unit\u00a0particularly for disaster relief applications. We also provide a 30 kW system with the same turbine design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EWP-50-kW-Turbine-small-JPEG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9444 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EWP-50-kW-Turbine-small-JPEG-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EWP-50-kW-Turbine-small-JPEG-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.greenneedham.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/EWP-50-kW-Turbine-small-JPEG.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>Why Vertical Axis Wind Turbines?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our focus has been on\u00a0Vertical Axis Wind Turbines\u00a0since they have many\u00a0advantages over\u00a0horizontal\u00a0bladed\u00a0turbines for roof-top as well as for pole mounted applications. VAWTs are quiet, do not harm avian life, do not have gear boxes and their mechanical issues, and their low profile is more acceptable to community aesthetic considerations. Our standard 54 foot pole brings the total turbine eight to just 80 feet. \u00a0One of the\u00a0major advantages of VAWTs is that they can be closely spaced\u00a0(one diameter apart) conserving valuable land or roof space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Applications<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our umbrella market is\u00a0Energy Islands \u2013 pockets of high energy cost, unpredictable service or no energy infrastructure, yet good wind potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Ocean islands<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0throughout the globe have extremely high electricity costs, unpredictable or inaccessible service, and constant strong wind ideal for our pole mounted turbines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>High\u2013rise roof<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0mounted VAWTs provide the most efficient green energy in urban areas where there is the greatest demand and limited space.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Mobile Units<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (self-contained)\u00a0for remote Off-Grid locations, particularly to set up a micro-grid for\u00a0disaster relief applications.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Developing\u00a0Countries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0serving isolated communities with no energy infrastructure to provide basic human needs such as drinking water, lighting and medical facilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Working farms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and remote industrial\u00a0sites in the US\u00a0pay a premium for electricity and can become masters of their own energy future using efficient wind energy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0Turbines can be easily mounted to decommissioned or active power plant chimneys to meet REPS requirements for green energy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Want to learn more?
