Wind

IT Power has extensive world-wide experience in wind energy system design, testing and evaluation, product specification, project management and site assessment services. The company has been involved in many stand-alone wind power projects, including work on the development of performance standards for small battery charging machines and research on controller technologies. A remote island was powered by an IT Power-designed wind-hybrid system as far back as 1984.

IT Power helps manufacturers to develop new products for home and export markets, and to progress market development through joint ventures and other mechanisms. The company assists governments and agencies in setting up market support systems enabling private sector development, thereby facilitating and stimulating sector growth. IT Power can provide technology transfer and training services and also help to develop standards.

Huitengxile Wind Farm, Inner Mongolia, China

Activities

6kW Proven wind turbine at Halhill Healthy Living CentreIT Power has expertise in the following areas:

  • Technology transfer,
  • Project management and technical assistance,
  • Aerodynamic and mechanical design,
  • Monitoring and system evaluation,
  • Specialist requirements for grid-connected systems, including weak-grid connection of larger turbines,
  • Resource assessment and technical "due-diligence" studies.
  • Clean development mechanism projects

Example Projects

  • IT Power works with wind developers in China to develop their projects as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects.
  • Regional workshop on wind energy technology transfer for south eastern Asian countries.
  • Development of methodology for the standardisation of performance claims for wind turbine systems.
  • Energy assessment of a new-build office and determining the most appropriate energy supply strategy for supplying the building energy loads.
  • Pre-feasibility study for the use of solar and wind energy in conjunction with diesel generators for isolated and island locations not connected to the main grid.
  • Technology transfer of manufacturing capability to Mongolia.
  • Developing an accurate wind prediction model. IT Power, working with the MET Office, National Wind Power and ISET, is combining the principals of various three-dimensional numerical weather prediction models and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs emulate the way a human brain functions) to develop a wind speed predictive tool that will allow generators to more accurately determine their output. This is particularly important under the New Electricity Trading Arrangements (NETA).
  • Worthing A pioneering 18kW small wind project requested by the Environment Agency, and managed by IT Power, to provide power to one of their offices in Worthing. The concept is to utilise the roof space of Guildborne House and mount small wind generators on an area that would otherwise be unused. The system will meet 10% of their annual consumption.
