Energy conversion technology refers to any system that converts energy from one form to another. Energy can be described in many ways, with different forms of energy including heat, work, and motion. Moreover, potential energy can be in the form of nuclear, chemical, elastic, gravitational, or radiant energy (also known as light). As a reliable, affordable energy resource, coal and gas fuels will power economic growth, and help us achieve environmental goals at the same time. In this one hour online course, energy conversion systems, their breakdown, descriptions, benefits, basic concepts and glossary are presented. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end.
How Is Energy Converted
At the core of the Uprise wind machines is the Energy Conversion System (ECS), which represents a new and improved method of efficiently converting wind energy to electricity. The ECS overcomes many constraints in conventional wind energy and replaces failure prone components with proven technologies.
The ECS will be offered independently of the PPC to other OEM's and as a retrofit option for underperforming wind machines.
ECS Components
- WIND PREDICTION SYSTEM
- STAR+ BLADES
- NACELLE
- CONTROLLABLE PITCH ROTOR
- FLUID DRIVE
- SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR
- PROPRIETARY PROGRAMMING & CONTROL HARDWARE
The Uprise Energy ECS solves one of the wind industries greatestconstraints, RPM. Only now is there a logical solution that allows the rotorto spin freely, while managing generator RPM precisely. Proprietary Programming will autonomously manage inputs, sensors, and orchestrate mechanical and electrical components to 'match load to energy'.
The Uprise Energy ECS Suite of Products is ideally adapted to Original Equipment Manufacturers and Retrofit applications.
Use of the Uprise Energy ECS will eliminate traditional fixed ratio gearboxes, transformers, and inverters. This saves weight, cost, maintenance, and parasitic losses.

Use of the Uprise Energy ECS will eliminate traditional fixed ratio gearboxes, transformers, and inverters. This saves weight, cost, maintenance, and parasitic losses.
Use of the Uprise Energy ECS will enable use of a synchronous AC generator. This reduces weight, cost, and lagging power factor losses.
Use of the Uprise Energy Blades will improve low wind speed energy capture.
The Uprise Energy Blade draws on the previously developed, award winningSTAR Bladeconcept with additional features
- 'Sweep' and 'twist' to optimize low wind speedefficiency
- Active and Passive pitch contro
- l'Full Foil' combined with uncompromised chordsections
- 'Winglets' to prevent vortex drag
- Advanced composite construction to minimize weight andmaximize strength
