GreenPowerGenerators

Reduction in power generation costs will reduce the electricity charge for customers. Two major costs in all power stations are Equipment and Maintenance costs. Higher efficiencies also cheapen electricity charges and benefit environment. Reliability is a very important issue in power stations. Each blackout can cause damage to the tune of billions of pounds. Most blackout caused by the failures of turbine generators. GreenPowerGenerators has developed a novel brushless doubly-fed generator for wind and wave power stations. The novel generator has less manufacturing costs (by down to 10%) and maintenance costs (by down to 60%) and is more efficient (by up to 5%) and more reliable. It operates in a wider range of speeds and introduces higher power quality into the grid (i.e. less harmonic pollution). The market for this technology is largely composed of power plant suppliers. Electrical motor and generator manufacturers are also the target companies. Since the technology is innovative and critical, there is great market potential.
