Infrastructure for next generation of wind turbines

As wind turbines increase in height, transportation poses considerable problems given that base diameters for 100+ meter towers exceed 4.3 meters and the limit for transport width in most parts of the USA and the EU. Furthermore, conventional steel tower constructions get dramatically more expensive with height due to the increasing need for thicker walls. In order to make significant returns on wind technology investments, organizations will need to drastically improve both costs and efficiency. Modvion´s module technology enables significantly decreased cost, efficient transportation and streamlined installation of towers exceeding 120 m.

Energy Efficiency Consultation Agency

Energy Efficiency Consultation Agency wrote: Our solution is to create a business that is an energy consultation agency where we will be providing an energy audit to stores, workspaces, factories, and schools. For the energy audit service, we will be collecting data about the location energy consumption, analyze that data, then provide recommendations on how they can reduce their inefficient energy consumption or make the company more energy efficient. Instead of using human resources to collect the data, we would be installing a monitoring system with sensors to collect different data... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Intelligent flight control software

DronePlan wrote: Power lines spanning vast distances are the circulatory system of modern power grids they present unique maintenance challenges due to their geographical dispersion as well as their height traditionally inspected by helicopter-based methods they can be more easily and efficiently inspected using uavs many buildings like dams wind power plant chimneys power poles bridges chemical plants etc must be regularly examined for damages like crack formations corrosion and deformation in most cases these inspections are only possible with a hydraulic platform scaffold or industrial climber and are linked to high risks and cost. Droneplan is new way how to maintain and inspect hard-to-reachable assets... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Waste to energy

JSP wrote: Jsp is involved in development of microbial fuel cell (mfc) technology to treat textile effluent and generate energy in terms of electricity. At present the target segment is the dyeing industry. We aim to target the small dyeing units who cannot afford the large common effluent treatment plants (cetps). Uniqueness of our technology: • energy positive effluent treatment technology – net zero opex, & carbon neutral process . • typical payback time is 5 years, contributed by: energy savings, reduction in excess sludge quantity and tax/ carbon credits. • suitable even for small installations, with organic load as low as 100 kg bod per day. • our product can be scaled up/down based on the requirements, with minimal maintenance...

CO2 Calculator

CO2 Calculator wrote: Briefly summarized: we have looked at how we can make this mindset more visible to the public while reducing the upcoming problem of introducing the co2 tax to the citizen. Our idea is an app and an associated power / energy / co2 meter for the household. The app uses existing databases (miles & more, db card, paypack, health app), that mean those that already track our behavior. Via the app, the user receives specific offers from our partner companies / institutions (engineering companies, bmu, transport companies) on how to reduce their co2 consumption and thus also save taxes. So an intelligent system, which follows the everyday life of a person and always shows the potential for improvement... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Internet of energy

UGrid wrote: Over the last decade, our energy grids have seen significant changes. Just look around! we have more weather-dependent generation based on renewables, more evs with infrastructure for them. . But all this requires more of distributed balancing capacity, too. Ugrid’s distributed virtual power plant is going to address this problem. . Let us introduce a smart micro inverter with balancing capacity, iot based grid controller and cloud-based grid management system (gms). The inverter and the controller can be a part of a solar, wind or battery storage power system providing an ability for the owners to sell their generation and balancing capacity to the grid. Suppliers, aggregators, and new utility companies are the main users of gms. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Grey Tech

Grey Tech wrote: We offer a solution towards water management with a different concept since we’re focusing primarily on wastewater. Given the social norm and failure to control the consumption of individuals we are focusing on a solution that would cater to the wastewater that is being generated by an average household. The concept is to tap out the wastewater component which is less toxic and can be reused. This includes wastewater originating from toilets (excluding human waste), bathtubs, kitchens sinks, laundry areas, generally called as greywater. Greywater if treated can be reused for several purposes i. E. Toilet flushes, landscaping, laundry, organic farming to name a few... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
