Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face pressing economic and environmental challenges, particularly in meeting their energy needs. One such island, Banaba, stands as a compelling case study. Located 300 km away from other lands in the Pacific Ocean and subject to frequent storms, Banaba grapples with the critical need for reliable source of green energy tailored to its specific requirements. The SEEDS Wind Turbine offers a practical solution. Engineered with a telescopic pole and waterproof structure, it can be easily assembled, disassembled, and safely stored underground before storms. Optimized for cargo shipping and maintenance, Seeds promises sustainable energy security for SIDS, addressing both their unique climate and logistical challenges.
SIDS are spending most of their low GDP in fuel energy supply, they are dependent on costly energy imports.
SIDS islands are frequently hit by storms and typhoons, there is a need for a reliable source of energy in case of emergency.
SEEDS provides a basic energy supply for 30 people, roughly 5 households.
The whole system fits inside of the barrel, the design is optimized for cargo shipping and stackability.
The rotor can be stored safely inside the barrel and locked with the hatch mechanism of the lid.
The telescopic pole mechanism allows an easy assembly and a quick disassembly in case of emergency.
Screws are embedded inside of the rotor blade during the Reaction Injection Moulding process.
