Small remote communities across the world rely on energy for cooking, heating, charging their cell phones, powering their satellite communications and many other applications that allow them to function in the same fashion as a large, metropolitan city. The ZuS™ vertical axis wind turbine is a reliable and cost effective alternative to generate energy in remote communities across the globe.
Currently, many remote communities rely exclusively on diesel generators to provide them with energy. Unfortunately, the price of diesel is high and very unpredictable making budgeting for power in small communities a difficult task. The high cost of diesel results not only from the high cost of the fossil fuel at the pump, but also the extremely high costs associated with transporting the fuel to the site. Once at the site, the diesel must be stored in large tanks. A lot of attention must also be paid to security of this costly resource. Once at the site, the diesel becomes a target for thieves looking to generate their own energy. Needless to say, theft can result in a detrimental situation for the community because they may be without power until a new shipment arrives. The tanks must also be routinely checked for leaks. A substantial leak from one of these tanks can result in environmental catastrophe if it goes unnoticed. The upshot of these issues is a system that is expensive, unreliable, risky, and environmentally unpredictable. Fortunately, an alternative is available.
Wind power captured by the ZuS™ Modular Power System is secure, constant, environmentally friendly, and highly available anywhere, which is crucial for remote communities. In addition, the simplistic, rugged design of the ZuS™ mitigates the need for ongoing maintenance and nearly eliminates energy production losses caused by breakdowns. Finally, fuel does not need to be shipped, stored, and insured at the site. All the power that is necessary is already at the site blowing around and waiting to be captured. Reliable energy supply and significant cost savings increase the competitiveness of wind power and turn it into the best energy choice for remote communities
The ZuS™ vertical axis wind turbine is designed to provide energy to remote communities across the globe. It can also be combined with many other renewable energy technologies such as solar panels or, it can be used with traditional energy generating technologies such as diesel generators. As a result, a client can further diversify their energy supply.
