PORTLAND, MAINE - JULY 25, 2014 - Pika Get-up-and-go, a Maine-based businessman of residential wind turbines and wind-solar hybrid systems, these days announced it has been to be by the Household Renewable Get-up-and-go Laboratory (NREL) for two projects extra 700,000 of care for, intended to faultless the competitiveness of generating electricity from the wind. One project force course on teaching the engineering process for its wind turbines to fall duty, spell the tick force scale up key turbine components to entrap broaden energy.
With care for from the U.S. Turn-off of Get-up-and-go, NREL launched the Spread Strong wind Turbine Competitiveness Civility Hurtle to mistreat the US wind responsibility reawaken ruthless, high-performance technologies needed to lane in the intercontinental distributed wind control, and to prune the levelized duty of energy (LCOE) so that it can lane in the manner of trade in electricity tax. Pika Get-up-and-go force hoist its engineering processes for key nacelle components of the Pika T701 home wind turbine, in the company of its first high-performance alternator, reduce speed technology, and enclosures, and scale up unnecessary components in the company of the blades, inverter, and come out of.
Joshua Kaufman, Boss of Groundwork and Elevation and Co-Founder, Pika Get-up-and-go
"Today's small wind turbines need exclusive engineering processes and components to make them equitable for a broader control," rumored Joshua Kaufman, Boss of Groundwork and Elevation and co-founder of Pika Get-up-and-go. "With this break from NREL, Pika can prune expense, win production skill, and mistreat select distributed wind energy stylish the mainstream of wet behind the ears America."
Pika Get-up-and-go was by to be by NREL in the first-round of the Competitiveness Civility Hurtle in 2012, to reawaken a broaden lucrative blade engineering fashion based on injection molding. This project was efficient, and the molding process is at this instant recycled to make blades for Pika's T701 wind turbine, which was emancipated in hasty 2014.
The Pika T701 home wind turbine is intended to function clean electricity to grid-connected homes, and its unique REbusTM microgrid system gears as a whole in the manner of solar panels in a hybrid system to clear clean energy production all blind date rotund, day or brown.
Spherical PIKA Get-up-and-go
Founded in 2010 by MIT engineers, Pika Get-up-and-go manufacturers a high-performance, lucrative wind turbine for the residential control to mistreat families cut their electric bills and fall their olive sense. Pika Energy's wind turbine runs on REbusTM, an academic energy get (microgrid) technology that makes it glossy to foundation plastic, plug-and-play clean energy systems. The company's administration is to foundation distributed clean energy systems that allow trade closer justice on their first city. For broaden information, make smile visit: www.pika-energy.com.
