    Phoenix Energy Systems - Vertical Axis Wind Turbines - Presentation Transcript

    1. Phoenix Energy Systems
      • Phoenix Energy Systems provides low-cost,
      • truly aesthetic
      • renewable wind
      • power appliances
      • to residential,
      • business, and
      • Government
      • customers.
      Introducing the Windspire® Wind to Power ~ Power to Inspire Wm. David Hamilton – President, Phoenix Energy Systems 972-814-3283 J. Matthew Hamilton – Vice President, Phoenix Energy Systems 512-246-9195
    2. Renewable Energy Problems
      • Solar based, dominated by Photovoltaic (PV)
      • Wind focused on large propeller based systems for the ‘Farm & Barn’ community.
      • Both approaches are Expensive
      • Energy is currently produced away from consumption requiring expensive transmission and creating bottleneck problems.
    3. Huge Markets – Common Platform
      • Residential
        • Resellers PV, wind, elect.
      • Commercial Building
        • Architects
      • Agriculture
        • Ag resellers
      • Schools
        • Architects
      • Remote Telecom
        • Antenna Mfgs
      • Lighting systems
        • Designers/Big Box
      • Remote Highway

      • $30B Market
      • $10B Market
      • $10B Market
      • $3B Market
      • $2B Market
      • $2B Market
      • $1B Market
      • $1B Market
    4. Applications
      • Grid Tied houses, buildings, lighting, schools
        • Integrated unit with easy installation and low cost
      • DC based off grid, agriculture, telecom, remote sites
        • Integrated generator and power electronics
      • Battery based storage opens more markets
        • Power electronics interface
    5. Next Generation Platforms
      • Key Dynamic:
      • Leverages Current Platform Design; Upgrade Annual Energy Production!
      • Low Wind – 8ft Diameter Rotor
        • Doubles Swept Area from 80 Sq. Ft to 160 Sq. Ft.
        • Larger Airfoils and Struts
        • Upgraded Generator: Tighter Windings to Get Higher Voltage
        • New Diameter Will Lower Rotor RPMs and Provide More Torque
        • Preliminary Analysis: 4,000 kWh’s in a Class 2 Wind ; 5,000 kWh’s in a Class 3 Wind
        • Potential Upgrade Solution for Current 1.2kW; Opens New Market in Class 2 Wind
      • 3kW
        • Preliminary Rotor Analysis is Complete
        • Design for New Generator and Inverter are in Process
        • New Foundation, Pole, and Bearings Require Further Analysis
        • People are Willing to Pay for Solution to Power 80 – 100% of Annual Electrical Usage!
