- 10. Solar Problem –panel material issues • Solar panels use lead, cadmium, and other noxious chemicals • Glass from PV is hard to recycle due to these materials • Burying solar panel wastes can make toxic materials to permeate the soil 10
- 11. Wind Problem –ineffective use of wind • Current wind power does not fully utilize energy of turbulent winds • Actual wind can be turbulent, not laminar flows that blow in multiple directions • Turbulent winds cause fatigue of the wind system, leading to failures • Current wind systems cannot generate power with a weak wind Laminar vs. Turbulent flows 11
- 12. Wind Problem –noise, vibration “The Germans fighting wind farms close to their homes” (DW.com, 2019-11-26) •"when strong winds push the rotors at full speed to generate electricity, they make a continuous whooshing sound like faraway planes flying by." •"Economy Minister Peter Altmaier drafted a law this month that would require new turbines to be built at least 1,000 meters from a residential area, defined as being made up of at least five houses." •“… could reduce the already limited space that can be used for wind farms by 20% to 50%” 12 https://youtu.be/Mk5zMxYVca0
- 13. Wind Problem –frequent failures • Mechanical failures at least once in 1 to 2 years • Vibration due to the high pole • Some systems fail more than 10 times a year • At least a few days to repair the system • It takes longer if components come from overseas 13
- 14. Wind Problem –bird strikes U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service • “… bird deaths from turbine collisions are between 140,000 and 500,000 birds per year.” • “As wind energy capacity increases … mean bird deaths resulting in collisions with turbines could reach 1.4 million birds/year.” Source: https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to- birds/collisions/wind-turbines.php 14
- 15. Odin Tower is augmentedwind based decentralized energy resource 15
- 16. Odin innovation –better utilization of winds Bernoulli principle-based structure • Wind becomes faster entering the tower • Can generate with slower winds • Larger power created at the same-speed wind • Turbulent flows become laminar flows on entering 16
- 17. Odin innovation –stacked tower Tower built by floor • Install capacity to suit purpose • 10KW to 1MW per tower • Diameter from 10m to 36m • Repair failed floor, operating the others • Solar panels can be put on top and sides • Bird strike is rare thanks to visible tower • Lower floors can be used for various purposes 17
- 18. Odin innovation –robust structure Turbine fastened up and down • Low vibration and noise • Can generate with strong wind • Low failure rate 18
