Wind Power for Off Grid Telecom Applications & More

Electricity generation via wind power is often associated with modern-day version of windmills spread through the hillsides and plains of the country side. Urban Green Energy aims to change that with a product line of relatively low-cost wind turbines. Designed to make little noise and to run at low revolutions per minute, such that birds and bees and see their outline, these spinning wings may be installed anywhere; in a dense urban area to a remote, off-grid, rural area.

David Droz, vice president of business development for Urban Green Energy, explains how distributed power, using a hybrid system consisting of wind, solar and battery back-up tied together by intelligence, offers a way to supplement or replace the grid. Example applications include:

Alternative power to the grid
Off-grid, electric car chargers
Off-grid, telecom applications

To this last application, wind-power, coupled with solar, could serve as an alternative or as a supplement to fuel-powered generators for telecom remote terminal cabinet or for off-grid wireless towers. With features such as remote monitoring and control and pricing geared toward residential use, these units could prove cost-competitive for operators wishing to create a more reliable power system for their telecom infrastructure.

Technology in this arena is in its infancy and advancing slowly as a result of a lack of funding due to economic forces and the government which continues to enforce costly measures to “help” us continue to use an antiquated energy source, indirectly costs us more, and hurt the economy’s growth while the 1% get their dividend checks. If the government would get out of the environmental protection business, we would adopt clean energy faster and the economy would benefit.

Instead of the monstrosities dotting our hill sides and pumping as much blood as possible out of hearts that are concerned about birds, we would have lines of Turbines about six feet high with state of the art props, bearings, generators and maybe turning to technology like a disk drive to fly shafts over surfaces in place of bearings. We would also take advantage of strong tides on the Atlantic coast to eliminate the approximately 80,000,000 oil broilers powering the North East.

At 165,000 miles, I’m getting good service out of my current car but,my next one will be electric.

There are many windmill installations that limit the damage to avian life forms -take the North Sea installations for example, installed in the ocean. There will be always collateral damage when man-made machines occupy portions of flight paths. It may very well be that over several life cycles of the birds, they may evolve enough intelligence and intution to bypass these monstrosities in their paths.

The above commentor also brings up a good point about wave energy -recently some companies have been awarded funding to pilot this, I think, in the east coast of USA (Greentech Media’s email updates today).
