Introduction to X-Wind
An 80kW vertical axis wind turbine
• Low, Low maintenance• Small footprint• Low noise
Class leading economics, 200MWh on typical site

The issues
• Island communitiesor remote communities /
businesses• Long distances for power lines• Vulnerable to faults/ interruption• Takes time to fix

The issues
• … its annoying, ruins your Xmas dinner
• Can present health risks• Adversely affects businesses• Compensation costs• Costs and CO2 of standby generators …. becomes political

The issues
You need energy & batteries …
…. BUT …. Its all expensive
You need a way of creating value from your all assets.

Solution partners
The generator provides value through energy off-set and incentives such as feed-in tariffs
Value is created from batteries when they are used, the more they are used the more value created
Ideally: Payments for- Resilience provided- Stand-by & utilisation- Grid upgrade avoidance- Grid balancing / fault limiting
Needs fast reaction times- Arbitrage

The solutions
Battery characteristics:
- Long life, 10,000+ cycles- Variable power vs. energy- Low LCOS- Rapid reaction time
Expandable

The solutions
System characteristics:
- Generation- Storage- Expandable- Ability to predict
- local supply and demand - Weather- Potential for grid faults
- Ability to measure flows to realise revenues
Community Energy Scotland:
- Access to communities- Understanding of issues

The solutions
Benefits:
- Ability to ‘island’ and reconnect- Stand-by operating reserve payments- Grid-balancing payments- Grid-upgrade avoidance payments- Arbitrage [trading]- Improved voltages- Improved frequencies- Improved thermal constraints- Local system resilience- lower compensation provision- Health- Business- Capital expenditure generating revenues

The solutions
Application in developing markets:
- 1.4 bn people off-grid, no power [world bank]
- 1.1+ bn people on weak grids [economist]
- 2.8bn people rely on solid fuels for cooking- Estimated to kill 1.5m people p/a
- 2,000 off-grid communities in N Canada alone [diesel generation]
- UK only 16% of DNO quotes for grid connection progress to completion [grid constrained, high costs]

The solutions
2.5+ bn People need power with:
- Good power quality - [or things do not work properly]
- Resilience
- Ability to loose grid and reconnect [islanding]
- Ability to trade energy
- Ability to manage changing demands over time
Improving health, quality of life & prosperity
Lowering CO2

The solutions
Partnerships:
- Once the integrated system is complete we would look for project partners to apply the technology in those places of greatest need.
