Mobile Renewable Energy System

A renewable energy power station in a box is what SkyBuilt Power has and is continuing to develop.  The Mobile Power Station™ (MPS™) is a complete power station in a rugged shipping container utilizing almost any type of energy. It can operate with no fuel, using any combination of solar/wind/batteries and micro hydro power, and can also be configured to work with diesel, fuel cells or other fuel-based systems. The picture on the left shows a 20' x 8.5' x 8'-foot wide (MPS™) unit designed for rapid deployment of a fuel-less power system on display at the companies office in Arlington, Virginia. 

The MPS can be shipped by truck, rail, sea or airplane; even dropped from a plane via parachute.  A steerable wing-type of parachute can be guided by remote control to get it to an otherwise inaccessible location.  The small units can be set up by two men and running in hours, not days.  Using the heavy and rugged steel container as a base means that it is not necessary to pour heavy footings and install towers and guy wires to support the turbine, or hold solar panels steady against wind pressure. All the components are shipped in the container with the solar panels and/or wind turbines set up on preassembled supports and cabling at the site.  Batteries, if needed, remain inside the container. The container can be heated and cooled for climate-controlled and lighted storage, office, medical clinic, border patrol facility, telecom, operations/command control centers, or other secure, self-powered space in any environment from the desert to the arctic.

The MPS can run with no fuel for decades and without maintenance for many months.  It can be remotely controlled and monitored, providing power from 3.5kW to 150kW or more at much lower fuel and maintenance costs than traditional fuel-based systems.  The system could also integrate diesel, propane, natural gas or gasoline-powered generators.  However, the supply-line for fuel can be a problem in many of the  applications envisioned for the MPS.  SkyBuilt will consider all the environmental and siting factors for a given application, look at the energy requirements, then recommend the combination of technologies that are best suited for that situation.  It can use any combination of off the shelf components, use them as plug-and-play components so the operating system can remain the same, and provide more reliable power than most other systems on or off the power grid.

They are currently seeking opportunities that require rapid deployment of a system, such as natural disasters, the military or in developing countries.  On October 18 SkyBuilt Power announced that it has signed a strategic investment and development agreement with In-Q-Tel, a private venture group established by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), to develop innovative, mobile, renewable energy power stations. They have signed a cooperation agreement with the Research Institute of Kazakhstan to develop innovative renewable energy systems to help meet their rural needs, including agricultural water pumping, desalinization, and power for other uses.  SkyBuilt and the University of District of Columbia are participating in a project to assess Ethiopian Renewable Power Needs.

It seems to me that the Homeland Security Department ought to be looking into getting a bunch of these for disaster relief situatons.

i think PVC windows is really green windows,i bought PVC

windows from a Chinese factory which made PVC windows about 20 years and

exported to many countries, my many friends are satisfy with PVC

windows, i think it have this features:
(1) Keep warming
(2) Sound insulation
(3) not easy aging
(4) Good fireproofing
(5) Resist Impact
(6) Excellent watertightness and artightness
(7) Weight light, easy instalation.

I introduce this factory to you, their website

is:www.globalpvc.com/pvcwindows.htm, there you can get more

information about PVC windows.

I'm working on a green house project. I'm really interested by this Mobile Renewable Energy System and I really would like to know if it's reliable for single housing application.
thanks a lot!

[Solar panels maryland]

I was thinking of getting of solar panel for my home to get rid of the electricity bills and all and i am not aware of the procedure and best qualtiy materials required for it.
