eddy Celebrates Italys 150th Anniversary 600W Turbine Installation in Imperia, Italy

eddy in Italy

In March 2011, Swiss distributorgreenwire installed UGEs eddy(600W vertical axis wind turbine)atop the bell tower of Imperia,Italys historic City Hall, built in1923. Imperia is the third largestcity in the region of Liguria.

The eddy was installed as part ofMayor Paolo Strescinos plans togreen the city and meet an EUobjective to reduce CO2 emissions

by 20% by 2020.

The installation coincided with the 150th anniversary of theunication of the Italian Republic.To commemorate this importantevent, an Italian ag with green,white and red LED ood lightswas illuminated on the facade ofImperias City Hall powered by

the eddy--Italys rst Italian agpowered by renewable energy!

This eddy will offset a percentageof the City Halls electricity.

This installation shows everyonethat making energy is a fun processthat can enrich our city experience.It should become a new way offurnishing the living space we allenjoy outside our home. Windisa rich resource, most importantlyits free! And [with the eddy]wecan [capture] it in style.

In January 2011, Urban Green Energy

partnered with Bn Group in Korea to install

UGEs Sanya hybrid street lamps throughout

the city ofBusan, Koreas second largest city

and the nations largest por t city.

The Sanya hybrid street lamps were placed in a

diverse set of topographies to test performance

based on location: the seaside, high altitudes,

and a basin area. Locations included: Amisan

Observatory, Hwamyung Arboretum, Busan

Central Park, Taejongdae, and the Bn factory.

In addition to the standard custom sails, 150W

solar panels, and 600W eddy, 84W LEDs were

used for extra illumination.

Products were put through a full commissioning

process which analyzed the quality of

production and functionality once installed. All

units are functioning properly and successfully

delivering Busans rst hybrid outdoor lightingsolution!

CASE STUDY

In June 2011, two UGE-

4Ks were installed 4 meters

above the bow of the Stena

Jutlantica, a commuter ferry

line in Gothenburg, Sweden

by Swedish distributor

WindQ as part of Stena

Lines environmental efforts.

This is the worlds frst

installation of a wind turbine

on a passenger ferry.

The installation coincided

with the June 25th Swedish

summer holiday of Midsom-

mardagen, a mid-summer

festival marked by public

celebration.

The objective of the project

was to use the aerodyn-

amics of the wind leaving

the turbine to improve the

boats overall aerodynamics.

(CFD simulation showed the

coefcient of drag decreasedfrom 0.56 to 0.51 with the

turbines installed.) The power

generated by the turbines is

expected to save on fuel aswell as supplement onboard

power systems, signifcantly

reducing the energy costs

of the boat when it is

docked and minimizing its

environmental impact.

The reduced air resistance at sea will result in

a reduction in fuel consumption of between 80

and 90 tons per year, which is equivalent to the

amount of oil to heat 28 homes in one year.

A special mounting system was devised to

securely mount the two turbines on the boat

deck. The low-noise levels, low vibrations,

and sturdy compact design of the two UGE-

4Ks were a perfect t for this project as theturbines sit right outside of a passenger lounge

with windows.

The two turbines will generate about 23,000kWh per year, equivalent to the domestic electricity

consumption for 4 normal homes during one year.

Among other things, the electricity will be used to

power the lighting on the Jutlandicas car deck.

Within our Energy Saving Program, we are

currently pursuing 200 environment improv

projects and this is yet another very inte

project. Stena Line has a tradition of leading

it comes to the development of different ty

new solutions,

CASE STUDY

National Guard installs 4 eddyGTs at Rickenbacker Air Base in Ohio.

4 eddyGT sTM

In November 2010,4 eddyGT

vertical axis wind turbines

(totalling 4 kilowatt) were

installed at the Rickenbacker

Air National Guard Base at

the 121st Air Refueling Wing

(ARW). The wind turbines

were installed to partially

power the unit by the wind

to help Rickenbacker meet itsgreen energy goals.

The 4 eddyGTs generate 4000

watts of energy at 26 mph,

but also generates electricity

in winds as low as 6-8 mph.

The wind turbines also takes

wind from any direction. The

commander of the 121st ARWCivil Engineering Squadron had

wanted to do a wind power

project for years, but most of the

earlier turbines were too large

and expensive. The eddyGT

was perfect for the National

Guards needs and was fundedby money set aside for energy projects. One

reason the National Guard funded this project

was to see what kind of savings this type of wind

turbine can yield. The turbines are connected

to the Guard units existing energy management

system to report their performance.

This is just a fraction of the total building load, but it

is a step in the right direction. In the near future we

hope to start other projects here at Rickenbacker

to help us meet our green energy goals ,

operate and maintain, so the

lient sought an alternative

olution.

The clients main goal was

to offset as much diesel as

possible, making it a back-up

ource of power to the wind/

olar solution. The Fusion-42

ystem implemented saves

he client over $30,000

USD per year, and helps the

environment too!

CASE STUDY

In February 2011, ABCs

Extreme Makeover Home

Edition built a zero net energy

home for the Hurston family

in Cocoa, Florida. Urban

Green Energys eddyGT one

kilowatt turbine was one of the

technologies included in building

this energy efcient home, alongwith a solar ar ray.

The combination of renewable technologies is saving the

Hurston family approximately

$250 per month on their energy

bills. In the familys former home,

the power bill was $300 to $400

a month.

The eddyGT together with the solar system gener ates

enough power to heat or cool the home and return

power to the grid. The renewable energy solutions along

with energy efcient appliances, heating, ventilation andair conditioning systems and lighting all contribute to

the lowered energy bills for the home.

The wind turbine is so majestic and when the

wind blows, the only sound we hear is a very slight ching -

ching as we know that we are making our own electricity

and selling the excess back to our power company.

Government Project Hybrid Street Lamps in San Franciscos Civic Center Plaza

6 SANYA s in CaliforniaTM

In December 2010, UGEs Sanya hybrid street lamps

were installed in a high-profle location in San Fran-

cisco by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission

(SFPUC). The installation of 6 Sanya hybrid street

lamps were located in front of the citys Civic Center

for a twelve month demonstration period, joining May-

or Gavin Newsoms ongoing campaign to green San

Francisco and create a sustainable Civic Center.

The Civic Center Sustainability District seeks to showcase

cutting-edge environmental technologies, energy efciency

and renewable energy projects all within the context of our

historic Civic Center Plaza. This new hybrid streetlight pilotproject is another step towards achieving our vision of a

model, sustainable public square that harnesses the power

of the wind and sun to deliver an essential government

service.-Mayor Gavin Newsom

The Sanya hybrid streetlights, are comprised of a 600

watt vertical axis wind turbine, along with a 150 watt

photovoltaic solar generation module. UGEs Sanya

hybrid streetlights were estimated to reduce energy

consumption at Civic Center Plaza by 1400 kilowatt

hours per year and offset the equivalent of

1516 lbs of CO2 per year.When electricity

costs are taken into account, the Sanya from

UGE offers a cost competitive solution to

traditional lights, yet it powers itself with

100% clean energy.

As shown in this project, the Sanya also

offers the opportunity for customers to put

their environmental commitment on display,

including the option to customize the panel

with their own logo or message, making the

Sanya a great marketing tool for companies

in industries including government,

hospitality, real estate development, sports

and recreation, and more.
