WindPower Innovations, a wind power infrastructure and smart grid solutions company, is all set to partner with Energy Plus, a distributor of alternate energy solutions in the Mexico and Latin American markets. WindPower Innovations wants to distribute its Permanent Magnet Generator and Grid-Tie Technology throughout Mexico and Central America. There are 3 essential components of the energy industry: generation facilities, infrastructure for energy delivery, and retail sale of energy.

WindPower Innovations specializes in wind turbine gearboxes, wind energy generation and transmission, system optimization services, maintenance, re-manufacture, repair of existing turbines and smart grid compliance solutions. It rebuilds & reconditions the older wind turbines, and sells them domestic and international emerging market. Based in Tehachapi, California, WindPower has already tapped the wind, aero-space, rail, automotive and construction industries.

WindPower Innovations’ President, Chief Technical Officer and Founding Member, Ian Griffiths said that, "Many potential markets for wind energy are un-tapped because the technology most widely available requires constant wind speeds at only one to two optimum peaks (+/-5 percent). Since it's a smart technology that can sense variable load demands and adjust power output accordingly, our Permanent Magnet and custom Grid-Tie solutions are ideal for regions that have inconsistent wind supply or power grid challenges, meeting the varying power needs from country to country, small villages, extreme climates and/or areas with developing infrastructure. Constant power can be generated consistently over a very wide band of operation (from 20 percent to 125 percent of rated power)."

Permanent magnet technology is a direct-drive, gearless transmission solution for wind turbines. It’s very cost effective and provides a high-power rated turbine design by using low-ratio gearboxes. Low-ratio gearboxes fit the low speed of the permanent magnet generators via torque transfer, hence maintains consistency throughout the range of energy distribution. The Grid-Tie Inverters are a state-of-the-art production solution. It cleans the power produced by the generators and synchronizes the power to the input line voltage, enabling larger usable range of the turbine’s generator.

Energy Plus is well known for its reliable supply of energy, priced at affordable rates, and available for both business and residential clients. It also provides a wealth of value-added services and benefits. It is specialized in retail energy and has long standing relationships with its customers. Energy Plus is also looking forward to expanding its business markets. It will be an ideal business partnership.
