  5. Medium Sizsed Wind Turbines in city suburb

  6. Later integration into a energy management system integrate into solar, ground and all other clean energies to form an optimized energy system for smart city


Integration of all kinds of clean energies to make energy supply intelligent:


  1. Optimization of the intelligent supply of diversified clean energies can reduce user's energy costs

  2. One of the important uses of renewable energy is to relieve "peak power" - usually the hottest afternoon in August when everyone turns on air conditioning and there is a risk of a blackout.

  3. In cosastal areas, wind and solar work together to provide power throughout the day, but wind is better for late afternoon.

Example of integration wind and solar


Potential Market in China


Make urban wind as widespread as solar, Over 1 Trillion RMB in China Market. Generate 5% of grid power in most major markets in 20 years.


Technical bottleneck is the main obstacle of wind application in cities, flower turbine provides the best solution


  1. Unsolved problems of small wind are a barrier to urban applications

  2. Flower Turbine is the first wind power solution for dense Urban environments

  3. First small wind turbine connected to the Israeli grid

  4. Prize for Second Best Israeli clean technology, Cleantech Open

  5. In 2018, China s energy administration issued a policy to encourage development of decentralized wind integrated with other clean energies: solar, biomass, geothermal and ocean , effectively connect with smart cities for energy supply


Problems with traditional small wind turbines


  1. Too big, but even when small…

  2. Noise and vibration

  3. Density causes turbulence

  4. Minimum starting speed 3meters/ second (6.7 miles/ hour)


Flower Turbines : The First Wind Power Solution for Dense Urban Environments


  1. Small ~3-meter (118 ) diameter footprint

  2. Quiet, less than the wind itself

  3. Density improves turbine performance (+20% to 50%)

  4. 1.2 meters/ second (2.7 miles/ hour) starting wind speed


Turbulence  Major Enemy of Efficiency


Leviathan solves the 3 sources of turbulence. And have a patent addressing each.

Cluster Effect


Other turbulence reduces efficiency - 50%

Leviathan Cluster Effect increases efficiency

+20-50%


Energy in city water system of Smart city:


  1. Smart water global market compound annual growth rate: 14%, 2013 to 2018, including leakage detection businesses (41%), smart meters (37%).

  2. During the 13th five-year plan period, domestic sales of smart water meters shall account for 40% of the total sales of water meters.

  3. Water pressure is the main cause of water pipe leakage ,caused by the Municipal water leakage each year reach to 10.2 billion tons, However, regular pressure correction accelerates the leakage of water.

  4. Nexus says 10 percent of the 20 trillion kilowatt-hours of global energy consumption goes to water transportation.


Problem/Opportunity


  1. IoT (Internet of Things) in pipelines including in buildings is BIG.

  2. 1 billion smart meters to be installed by 2020, then:10 billion smart meters/ sensors x $100 each= $1 trillion market.

  3. PROBLEM: How do they better get energy to operate? for battery recharges the problem is:The cost of replacement of the batteries every few years is high. If the batteries cannot be replaced in time, there is a risk of system failure.


Energy for smart city water sensors / meters


Solution : Miniaturized flow turbine genset


  1. 2X efficiency, 1/2 starting speed of competiors,

    That mens:

    1)Same power with half the size

    2)More sensitive. Better certainty that the sensors always have electricity

    3)No battery replacement labor and cost

    4)Low cost, with a long product life

    5)Platform for integrating the industry

    6)Distribution to sensor/ meter suppliers, contractors, globally

  2. Business Model: " Intel Inside"


Power From City Pipes: Transfer pipe pressure into energy


  1. Excess pressure in municipal water piping systems usually handled by pressure breakers---problem also for oil and gas

  2. Pressure leads to leakage and causes a need to pump harder, which increases pressure

  3. Wasted Energy From Leaks and Lost Water

  4. We make these problems into energy

  5. The electricity generated by pipe pressure can be used in the grid or by the water utility


Leviathan turbine hydro-electric intelligent system is of great significance to water system——Save water and power


  1. Leviathan turbine hydro-electric intelligent system completely solves the problem of water pressure in a municipal pipeline, while utilizing excess water pressure to generate electricity. Where the water system pressure is too high, there can be small-scale hydropower generation. The turbine equipment of the system can be used as generator, energy storage, pressure switch (this is very meaningful: 400 cities in China have the problem of water shortage. Leakage water from utility can't be recovered.

  2. Target market: municipal water supply companies of 660 cities, 2,500 counties, 30,000 administrative areas. Most municipal water supply systems find it difficult to achieve stable water because the pressure and flow inside the water pipes fluctuate. 


Green Hydro without dam - Underwater Turbine:No damage and no secondary pollution to city environment



  1. More ecologically friendly

  2. No damage and no second pollution to city environment

  3. Less costly infrastructure

  4. Less size, same function as dam hydro

  5. No loss of energy by stopping the water

  6. Disruptive innovation using the science of Computational Fluid dynamics to design the components

  7. China's water resources rank first in the 16.7% of total, However, the installed hydropower capacity only 19.3 % of the exploitable capacity. During the 13th five-year plan period, China will further develop small hydropower.


Game Changing Hydrokinetic Power



At least doubles the efficiency of turbines of similar blade size, higher at small sizes and low speeds. Starts at half the water speed. This means hydro projects with ROI of 25-50%.


PPA or cooperate with Hydro companies to develop new projects There are 3,019 rivers over 10,000 KW. Underwater turbines can be used in many small rivers and canals. Already have facilities to transfer large amounts of electricity to the grid.


Underwater Turbine Compares to Traditional Hydro
