Tobie Green
Energy
Tobie Green
Energy’s
product line is
a clear
reflection of
its strategy to
focus on
developing
products
customized not
only to the
local geography
and wind
regime, but
also the
individual
needs of each
customer.
Tobie Green
Energy’s
current product
range includes
wind turbine
generators in
capacities of
100 kW, 250kW,
450kW 650kW,
800kW,and 1000
kW. Tobie Green
Energy offers
its turbines in
customized
versions for
installation in
a variety of
climate ranging
from hot, dry
deserts to
humid coasts,
to
near-freezing
plains.
Tobie Green
Energy has
driven a
focused effort
to make wind
turbines more
reliable,
consistently
delivering
availability
rates beating
global
standards,
higher than 95%
on an average.
With
different
kilowatts of
rated power,
our wind
turbine can
match the power
needs of many
local
applications,
whether they
are
municipalities,
schools and
universities,
commercial
farms, or
business
campuses. Its
physical size
fits within
most
constraints
inherent in
highly
populated
areas.
Discover the
Tobie Green
turbines and
harness the
most advanced
technology, in
its simplest
form, to create
solutions for
your renewable
energy needs.
Our Design
Originally
developed and
designed for
remote and
isolated sites,
the Tobie Green
turbines place
reliability at
a premium.
Regular and
costly
maintenance was
not an option
for
applications
located in the
South Pole or
the Indian
Ocean—let alone
your farm,
school or
business. What
this means for
your
application is
more energy and
less
maintenance.
An
engineering
advancement in
simplicity and
precision, our
gearless direct
drive
technology
maximizes
energy capture
and outperforms
conventional
gearbox
designs,
therefore,
optimizing for
low wind
speeds. Our
turbines begin
making power at
wind speeds as
low as 3 meters
per second
(6.6mph) and
can provide
clear economic
benefits in
sites with as
little as 5.5
meters per
second
(12.3mph)
average annual
wind speeds.
What’s more
is that you can
track these
advancements by
utilizing our
monitoring
system. All of
our turbines
come standard
with a computer
application
which provides
onsite and
remote access
for viewing
real time power
production via
the web.
All turbines
capture wind
but the Tobie
Green turbines
capture it the
best!
Your Solution
The Tobie
Green Turbine
is the ideal
choice for
community
applications
that favor a
low height
profile, easy
utility
connect, low
noise and cost
effectiveness
such as
municipalities,
farms, schools,
businesses,
rural utilities
and remote
villages.
Our Turbines
reach from 120
to 200 feet
into the sky to
capture wind
but fit neatly
in the
landscape at
the same time.
Noise levels
measured from
the base of the
turbine mirror
quiet
conversation
(50db), so the
Tobie Green
turbines will
be beautiful to
your ears as
well as your
eyes.
Even at
modest wind
speeds, our
turbines can
produce enough
electricity to
represent
significant
savings in
utility costs.
Given its 20
year design
life, you can
be sure that
the our units
will provide
long term
benefits and
more than pay
for itself over
time.
 Technology
Less is
more.
This principal
drives our
engineering
team to create
state of the
art wind
turbines with
elegant designs
and fewer
moving parts
than
conventional
turbines. By
minimizing
wearing parts
in the load
path and
maximizing
efficiency over
the full range
of operating
conditions, our
turbines are a
technological
masterpiece
with its
innovative
gearless design
and best in
class energy
capture. What
this means for
your
application is
more energy,
less
maintenance,
and higher
reliability!
“The Tobie
Green turbine’s
high
performance and
reliability can
be attributed
to three main
technological
advances: an
innovative
direct
drive/gearless
configuration,
a high
efficiency
permanent
magnet
generator
design, and an
advanced power
converter
system. Tobie
Green Energy
prides itself
on taking
innovative
approaches to
providing cost
effective
solutions for
our customer’s
renewable
energy needs.”
Direct
Drive
Configuration
The Tobie
Green’s
gearless,
direct
drive
train is
at the
heart of
Tobie
Green
Energy
“less is
more”
design
focus.
Eliminating
the
gearbox
simplifies
the
drivetrain
design by
radically
reducing
the number
of moving
parts and
wear
items.
This
translates
into
higher
reliability
and lower
operating
costs.
Permanent
Magnet
Our
proprietary
permanent
magnet
(PM)
generator
is central
to the
Tobie
Green
innovative
drivetrain
design.
PM
generators
offer high
efficiency
energy
conversion,
particularly
at partial
load, and
require no
separate
field
excitation
system.
Our PM
generators
are
lighter,
more
efficient,
and
require
less
assembly
labor than
competing
designs.
The Tobie
PM
generator
was
designed
at a
systems
level in
conjunction
with our
power
converter
to create
an
optimized
solution,
tailored
for high
energy
capture
and low
operating
costs.
The Tobie
Green
generator
is cooled
directly
by the
wind, with
no
auxiliary
fans or
air
transfer
through
the
generator
needed.
Power
Electronics
Another
key
element of
Tobie
Green
innovative
direct
drive wind
turbine
design is
the power
converter
used to
connect
the PM
generator
output to
the local
power
system.
Northern
designs
and
manufactures
the power
converters
for its
wind
turbines
in-house,
with
complete
hardware,
control
design,
and
software
capabilities.
The Tobie
Green
turbine
power
converter
uses the
same
advanced
control
system
platform
found in
the
FlexPhase
platform,
providing
reliable
and high
efficiency
operation
even on
the weak
grid
systems
found in
remote
village
applications.
Monitoring
Our drive
to meet
our
customers
where they
live and
work is
what
informed
the
creation
of our
monitoring
system
which
comes
standard
with each
Tobie
Green
turbine.
Our system
provides
monitoring
and
control at
both the
individual
turbine
and at the
fleet
level of
supervision
to ensure
high
availability
and
reliable
long term
operation.
A robust
and user
friendly
tool,
permits
the
tracking
of energy
production,
operating
data,
alarm
notification
and reset,
and
supervisory
control
from
anywhere
in the
world via
a secure
web
connection.
Applications
With the
rising cost of
energy, Tobie
Green Energy
provides real
power solutions
for
municipalities,
farms, schools,
businesses,
rural utilities
and off grid
village
applications—helping
to shape the
way we think
about community
wind and local
power.
The Tobie
Green turbine
is making
measurable
economic
impacts in the
lives of people
who have made
these elegant
towers their
partners in
change.
Partners
A successful
wind project
depends not
only on an
advanced and
reliable wind
turbine, but on
a variety of
other
activities as
well. Erecting
one or more
wind turbines
usually
requires
site-specific
activity in at
least some of
the following
areas:
-
Analyzing
the site’s
wind
resource
and
sitting
the
turbine
-
Developing
financial
modeling
and
payback
analyses
-
Pursuing
grant
funding or
other
available
incentives
-
Navigating
the local
permitting
or other
regulatory
processes
-
Constructing
and
installing
the
turbine
-
Performing
service
and
maintenance
activities
There are
many reputable
integrators
from around the
world that
offer some or
all of the
services
mentioned
above. Many
will even order
the turbine as
part of their
service
package. If you
are looking for
an integrator
to help with
some or all of
the activities
listed above,
we are happy to
give you
recommendations
based on your
specific needs
and location.
