2 THE WINDTRACKER PROJECT Project Finance Project Design Project Objectives DIRECTTECH Global GmbH, Industriegebiet Hülsdonk Moers, Moers, NRW. Mr Dennis Patrick Steel. To realise, construct and build 1. power storage accumulators (Grid tied), with hardware, broadband transmission and communication systems into a safe/armoured platform, 2. Integrated with a silent, no shadowing turbine system to convert wind energy into electricity. a NODE, through enhancing, 1. Transmission, 2. Communication and 3. Network technologies, that will prove with today s technologies, not only can we provide a stable, sustainable system, to support the conventional Energy & communications Infrastructure in Renewable Energy, Power Storage & Distribution, Broadband & Internet, Communication & Surveillance, Management & Administration but as part of a Node Cluster also provides a growing system which is localised and decentralised? 1. Size fits into urban, rural and industrialised infrastructure 2. No shadow effects 3. No emissions that will meet the demands of tomorrow using today s technologies. WINDTRACKER Building, installing and supporting all the needed periphery into a combined solution, and in one secure construction, is the only way to meet the demands of today, leave alone tomorrow. Local but Decentralised. Cluster > E- CLOUD.

3 Project Description; Multi-Tasking Level - Turbine To build a Turbine/power storage facility to produce and store energy The Turbine is not to throw shadow effects, vibrations or acoustics higher as the wind itself. The Turbine must become economically efficient in turbulent windy environments. The Turbine must become economically efficient before aesthetics become unusable in rural and urban areas. Most Turbines become economically efficient through their size. Wind speeds over 2 meters/sec must become storable. Continues generation until 52 meters/sec Turbines are adaptable for hurricanes and tropical storms Turbines can be integrated constructively within any architecture. The power storage must be able to store power not only from its own generators but from off peak supplies from generators which are grid tied, (e.g. Blockheizkraftwerke, Cogeneration, CHP Power Stations, etc.). Stored power must be transferable to Grid, (Computer controlled Multi dischargers/inverters exist), will make Grid Peaks redundant! Construction properties; 1. Can be made from low-tech materials, 2. Simple design characteristics, manufacturing quality to price ratios is good 3. Short planning, lead in, finishing times, 4. Robust for longer life span, 5. Transportable, with short erection times, 6. Can be erected above as well as below a pontoon or Vessel, 7. Short reaction time in areas of natural disasters/catastrophe s, 8. All parts above the ball bearing tracking system can be manually repaired without a crane Attachments To explain, in a visual manner, the full spectrum of this project and to understand the full scope of its properties please find the attached Power point presentation; Without a grid scale storage, Renewables will stay a costly problem for the Grid.

4 ABSTRACT Remarks On Monday, 09 January 2012 it was reported by the <Frankfurter Allgemeine> that the Feed in Tariff for Offshore wind parks will be raised from 9 cents/ kw/h to 19 cents, but the feed in Tariff for the more efficient onshore wind parks will stay the same. This shows the relevance of projects such as those of the WINDTRACKER. The WINDTRACKER will show that, with smaller Turbines, using nothing but the conventional denaturalised lands and infrastructures a decentralised harvesting and storage system, like the WINDTRACKER can go a long way in helping us to become nuclear free. From this first installation on, every unit built would help to save Grid Investment! Please refer to our website where you can follow these presentation foils: Foil by N Title /Remarks 1.

Safety & Savings WINDTRACKER SUMMARY The WINDTRACKER can be integrated into infrastructure and architecture, no noise, vibration and shadow effects, no need to decentralise landscapes. Makes decentralized local storage possible. The WINDTRACKER s storage of electrical power is done with state of the Art components, and industrial based norms. When Grid tied it can take power from others sources at low grid demand and can return Power to grid at high demand. Power storage is a must when Renewables are to be taken seriously. Technical availability of conventional large volume, large capacity Grid storage are already too late! And causes negative pricing on the stock market! It will involve massive R&D and expenses running into the unknown. The failing storage today is costing millions or billions and could be stagnating economies.

6 CONCLUSION The WINDTRACKER is an efficient Twin turbine system with concentration blades at each end which supports the turbine bearings this substitutes the heavy steel cage like construction that is usually employed to support this type of turbine the area between the Turbines have a concentration Fuselage which makes the turbine turn 2,5 3 times faster as an original Savonius. The whole system navigates automatically in all winds without access to External Power. With a minimum of materials we get a very good power to Mass Ratio with an excellent Economical efficiency. The aesthetic construction support and houses the Novell 48 volt accumulator storage to hold the designed storage capacities, Inverters, hardware and communication systems. As all components are based on state of the art technologies the WINDTRACKER can form the first stage of a node cluster. The node Cluster can be administrated by computer network. Grid tied- the cluster (E- Cloud) can be designed to support any storage or distribution capacities needed, decentralized and local. Due to the WINDTRACKER s aesthetical attributes and size, its visual impact on the infrastructure will make it almost invisible. Peak demands, Peak Wind power and generating redundancies are causing huge Grid investments. With the WINDTRACKER we can start to address these problems with a growing system. This WINDTACKER Project as proof of concept and environmental acceptability! With little maintenance the WINDTRACKER will live for many years and will serve many generations to come. With climate change the winds will not become less, in the name of stability and the legacy we leave, let us build as many as we can. Best regards, D. P. Steel Even if fusion becomes reality in the next 50 years, decentralized power storage will still save money, so why not start now?
