WindPower Innovations, Inc. (WPNV) The WindPower Innovations group of companies is led by a top executive team whose collective technical background spans wind, aero-space, automotive, rail, and construction industries from around the world. Our personnel have a successful track record of starting and developing new companies in the noted business arenas and have directed all of our business efforts and processes towards becoming the industry leader in wind power infrastructure support and advancement. Through our subsidiaries, Energetic Drives and GTS, we are setting the standard in repair, remanufacture and innovation of wind turbine gear-boxes, System Optimization services and smart grid compliance solutions. Detailed analysis and engineering, combined with close a working relationships with strategic component suppliers and sourcing is what enables us to provide substantial improvements business economies and system efficiencies, resulting in enhanced business profitability.

WIND IS FREE, IT’S RENEWABLE, AND IT’S CLEAN!

“With generating capacity at over 25,000 MW, U.S. wind power already supplies enough electricity to serve the equivalent of nearly 7 million average households. Although wind power provided over 1.25% of the nation’s electricity in 2008, it is capable of providing 20% of the country’s energy by 2030.” Source powerofwind.com

The U.S. market for small wind energy systems is prospering, expanding 15% last year and accounting for about half of the units sold in the entire world, the American Wind Energy Association recently announced, highlighting findings from its annual Small Wind Turbine market study. Small wind systems are defined as those with rated capacities of 100 kilowatts (kW) or less, and are used primarily to power individual homes, farms, and small businesses.

Subsidiaries

Energetic Drives, LLC is our mechanical and electrical engineering group, which has designed a method to convert DC electrical current into AC current, readily acceptable to the electric grid. Energetic Drives engineers develop custom solutions that match the best motor/generator for a given location, wind potential and turbine used. We have the ability to model many possible scenario that will allow our clients to model multiple motor/generators and wind studies for a single turbine to determine the most efficient and profitable solution for their operation. The data is entered and the software then generates six wind models for use with the entered motor/generators. Summary information about the energy generated, turbine limits and each motor/generator are then shown. Information about the turbine, each wind model, each motor/generator and the energy generated by each scenario is created, optimizing your operation for Smart Grid compatibility.

Wind Turbine Systems -
Our wind turbine systems and controls give us the ability to provide system optimization to your current wind turbine generator and controls.

Some of our system optimization services include:

1. Control panels for power production and integration
2. Remote site control using the latest SCADA software packages
3. System optimization using Finite Element Analysis, 2D Auto-cad drawings, 3D drawings and Solid Works 3D system virtual design
4. Electrical control drawings
5. Panel building to UL 508

Grid-Tie Inverters -
Energetic Drives uses the highest quality drives and grid-tie inverters available which clean the power produced by the generator and synchronizes this power to the input line voltage. In addition, the grid-tie inverter allows us to produce clean power through a larger usable range of the turbine’s generator (900 rpm to 2,100 rpm) and we are compliant with IEEE standards 519 and 1547.

Permanent Magnet Technology -
Energetic Drives also uses permanent magnet technology, we provide direct-drive, gearless transmission solutions for wind turbines. Coupling this with the grid-tie inverter provides us with a state-of-the-art energy production solution competitive with any other system available today. The direct-drive solution is available in sizes up to 394 KW. For applications above 394 KW, we have designed a low speed, low maintenance gearbox that allows for the mounting of up to four generators to a single turbine shaft, resulting in a very cost effective, high-power rated turbine design. Traditional gearbox designs require chillers, forced compression of oil pressure and other advanced functions as well as multiple stages that are very failure prone. This is not necessary with the 145 RPM 3.866:1 ratio gearbox designed for the permanent magnet generators used by Energetic Drives.

Low Ratio Gearboxes -
Energetic Drives has designed a series of low ratio gearboxes that fit our low speed permanent magnet generators. The torque transfer required in these unique gearboxes is the motivating factor behind this patent pending design.

Traditional gearbox designs utilize multiple stages (as many as 4 separate stages), large ratios (up to 69:1 or more) and high speeds (1500-1800RPM).  Energetic Drives design philosophy allows us to produce gearboxes for wind turbines Rated 250KW to 1.5MW maintaining consistency throughout the range.

Energetic Drive Team Members -
Each member of the founding staff has at least 20 years of experience in their chosen industry: business, sales, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology. The Chief Engineer for Energetic Drives, Dr. Semion Stolyar, has over 70 global engineering design patents and is the chief architect of Energetic Drives patent-pending gearboxes for permanent magnet generators.
