Global Excellence 2019

118 Acquisition International - Global Excellence 2019 Acquisition International - Issue 5 2019 47 Feb19591 American Wind, Inc is an OEM of micro wind turbines called the MicroCube™. Recently, the firm found success in AI’s Global Excellence Awards 2019 where they were recognized as the Most Innovative Wind-Based Power Generation Technology Company 2019 – USA. On the back of this win, we profile the firm and caught up with President, Robert Yost who enlightened us with a detailed overview of the sustainable products the company provides. Creating a Sustainable Future Contact: Daniel Yost Company: American Wind, Inc Address: 470 Blake Botom Rd NW, Huntsville, 35806, Alabama, United States of America Telephone: +1 256 217 5892 Web Address: www.americanwindinc.com ince their inception in 2014, American Wind, Inc have been challenging the traditional turbinemarket and power generations technologies. American Wind, Inc have developed a unique micro wind turbine with enhanced power generation capabilities, to be created at less cost and utilizing newer manufacturing technologies. Alongside this, the firm are challenging the way new technology can be used and enhancing old technologies to expand their capabilities. Going into further detail, Robert begins by informing us of the firm’s mission and the steps they take to ensure that they achieve it. “Here at American Wind, Inc., we believe in creating better future for our children and our planet we must bring power to the people. We can achieve this with our state of the art wind turbine systems that are beautifully designed, astoundingly powerful, completely renewable, incredibly space efficient, whisper quiet, extremely versatile while working anywhere in the world.” With all resources on this planet being finite, there is a limit to how much oil that can be pumped and used. However, the sun and wind are a constant, the earth itself creates the wind, which is really created by the solar radiation. One of American Wind, Inc’s products in particular, WindWall™ can create power in a much smaller area in comparison to more traditional systems, as Robert explains. “The WindWall™ is one of the world’s most efficient wind turbine at gathering energy out of the wind. In addition to this, its generator is 98% efficient at taking the natural wind energy and turning it into electrical energy. This means we can provide much more power in much less square footage, providing for increased energy.” Moving forward, the team at American Wind, Inc will continue to work towards creating a better future for both our children and our planet, focusing on brining power to the people. This, Robert believes, is achievable with American Wind, Inc’s state of the art wind turbine systems that have been beautifully designed, astoundingly powerful, completely renewable, incredibly space efficient, whisper quiet, extremely versatile, whilst working anywhere in the world. Bringing the interview to a close, Robert signs off by reflecting on the challenges he foresees within the wider industry, but highlights they key ways in which American Wind, Inc will overcome any obstacles that they may encounter in the upcoming years. “In the next 10 years, I believe we will see a major change within the energy industry to even more sustainable products. “Looking ahead, we see in the future, and this is very much taken into consideration with our product and the direction that it is going, Smaller Micro-Grids all linked together with Distributed Energy creation Sources (DES) like our products. Every building contributing to the production of energy and not just the consumption of it, this solution not only makes for a cleaner environment, but also a more secure economy and infrastructure. With DES's if one section is affected, then the rest of the community is not affected. If one source of energy goes down, then the gird can load balance and shift where the demand is needed. This system would also, in the long run, give us cheaper power as well.” S “We can achieve this with our state of the art wind turbine systems that are beautifully designed, astoundingly powerful, completely renewable, incredibly space efficient, whisper quiet, extremely versatile while working anywhere in the world.” Feb19591
