Problem
Many remote or off-grid locations rely on diesel generators for electricity, which are expensive to operate, require frequent refueling, and produce significant carbon emissions. Existing renewable energy solutions may not be consistently available or cost-effective in these areas.
Solution
Brainwhere develops airborne wind turbines (AWTs) that operate at high altitudes to harness consistent and powerful jet stream winds, converting this energy into electricity. The AWT system is designed for mobile deployment, allowing it to be positioned based on meteorological forecasts to maximize energy capture. The system's rotation generates lift, which is then converted into electricity via a generator. Real-time pitch angle control of each wing ensures stability and control. This solution offers a clean, decentralized energy source with a lower Levelized Cost of Energy compared to traditional diesel generators.
Target Audience
The primary customers are off-grid locations seeking clean and cost-effective energy solutions, high-altitude pseudo-satellite (HAPS) operators, and offshore wind park extensions looking to improve ROI.
