Transcript New Generation of Wind Turbines We Turn Energy

New Generation of
Wind Turbines
We Turn Energy Consumers into
Energy Producers
August 2012
Wind Turbines
Horizontal Axis (HAWT)
• Large blades, high speed, efficient
• Higher noise, vibration levels
• Sensitive to wind direction
Vertical Axis (VAWT)
• Not sensitive to wind direction
• Safer, more compact, less noise
• Appropriate for more populated areas
About Smart Wind
• Established May 2009 (in L.N. Green Incubator)
• Developing vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT)
• First products:
VAWT for residential settings
• Future markets:
commercial, urban, large VAWT
• Strategic partner: Kanfit Ltd
Core Technology
The innovative technology (by Andrey Kotler) is based
on a specific use of Active Flow Control (AFC)
aerodynamic technology for increasing air circulation
around the rotor blades
• US patent application (10/2010)
• PCT application (10/2011)

Wind Power – Growing Opportunity
• Global installed capacity of wind-powered generators > 200GW
• Over the past five years the average annual growth in new
installations around the world has been 30%
Small Wind Power – Penetrating to Market
Only half of the small wind turbines in
China continue to produce electricity
Global installed capacity of small
wind-powered generators < 0.5GW

Small Wind Power – Market Potential
• Potential of small wind turbines on landed homes
in US - above 13 million units
• Same trend is observed in Great Britain with
potential of over 600,000 small wind turbines
• The Asian market potential is believed to be large
With an average installed
cost of 6000 $/kW (AWEA
2011 report) the expected
market size in 2020 is
$24 Billion

Business Strategy for Coming Years
• Penetrating to the wind market with products for residential
settings (1-10kW)
• In process of manufacturing and testing first commercial model
of about 1kW
• The company plans to expand its activity to the commercial
wind turbine sector with larger models (above 10kW)
• Revenues will be received from selling turbines in the
international market
• Applying the technology to large VAWT
Expecting Break even point
in third year of sales
and
Accumulative net profit
of about 20M$ after 5 years
14
Funding
Seeking to raise 2M$ for
•
Entering the international market with the first
commercial model
and
Working with the Small Wind Certification Council
(SWCC) for certifying this model in US
•
Expanding to larger turbine models
The Company
will take control
of more than 5%
of the wind
energy market
in 10 years!
