Congratulations on your successful completion of the first round of the GE challenge! We are now in the second round; the period of judging and results. Your idea will contribute to the transformation of energy sector.

In the “Connect” category, GE is seeking breakthrough ideas to improve grid efficiency by three means: reducing losses, reducing voltage and improving system reliability. I will take these three solutions one by one.

First, delivery losses occur due to the complexity of the grid. The grid consists of several energy sources which are interconnected. This complex interconnectivity which also includes a grid-tie inverter (that converts DC power from the grid to AC power) contributes to the reduction of the expected capacity of the grid. The grid capacity needs to be freed up. The solution to these losses is by using an off-grid photovoltaic array which operates independently; it is not connected to other energy sources or the grid. It is more efficient. It has its own simple stand-alone inverter, rechargeable storage battery (to serve during off-peak periods) and a charge controller (to prevent the battery from overcharging).

Second, over-delivery of energy is a technical phenomenon associated with grid-related systems. It occurs due to increase in power drawn from the grid. This makes consumers or subscribers to the grid pay for unused energy; they usually pay a higher rate. The solution to this is by using an off-grid photovoltaic array because it has a fixed or rated capacity and output; it is not interfered by other energy sources. This solution is economical because consumers do not have to pay for bills or overcharged bills.

Third, system unreliability results from power outages due to poor identification and isolation of faults. These faults affect the entire system and may lead to power outage of a city or a larger region. The solution to this is by using off-grid photovoltaic arrays because it can easily be maintained and faults can easily be detected. Even if faults were not detected on time, the power outage would only affect a single building or premises and not an entire city.

Please, critically analyze and comment on my idea: “off-grid photovoltaic arrays.” From your opinion, is my idea feasible? Will it potentially make a significant impact on the global energy challenges we face?

Thanks and good luck.

Welcome to GE Ecomagination Challenge - You’ve got our vote just for being here! – Just joining this Challenge lets us know that like us at Clean Legacy, you are one who is also concerned with the future of the environment and the world we must leave to our children! The Clean Legacy Group with its flagship product, the Skylight PP-CPV and its related family of alternative energy products seeks to join with others to bring our low carbon footprint products to everyone everywhere. I hope you’ll join us and visit our page and cast your vote of support for our clean, green – eco friendly alternative energy machines. To view our offering please visit the Clean Legacy vote page by clicking here. - http://challenge.ecomagination.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=ideas&idea_id=E2620471-DDE7-497B-9D08-7B40F2ABB9EF You can also reach us on Facebook, just friend me @ John L Coulson

Remember it’s the top five ideas that GE determines that move ahead and not the top five vote getters, so just entering the Challenge gives us all an equal chance and an excellent way to network with many others in the alternative energy field. Imagine what we could accomplish together! - Let’s talk clean energy sometime soon. IamInventing@gmail.com or www.webstarts.com/IamInventor Hope to see you in November! – Regards and best of luck to everyone! JLC Inventor/Founder - The Clean Legacy Group – A proud Canadian “For Profit” Environmental enterprise.

Before I can vote, here are my usual comments which I deem to be of GREAT IMPORTANCE, to which kindly respond: As we embark on this global alternative-energy adventure it is important, FROM THE OUTSET, that with wind or water turbines, for instance, all wildlife (BIRDS, FISHES, and others - swimming or diving, flying and climbing etc) be protected with alarm or protection devices (even special colors, paints, fluorescents etc perhaps?) and which also be well maintained and kept in good repair ……….…. SOME OF YOU SCIENTISTS AND INVENTORS PLEASE INVENT SUCH METHODS OR DEVICES !!! – It might be the best thing you could do, and you might become famous and/or rich, even if you were not to win in this competition …………. Considerable MULTIDISCIPLINARY considerations must go into ALL ENERGY PROJECTS today. This type of thinking is an ABSOLUTE MUST today, with global population size soon reaching the TEN billion (10,000,000,000) people mark at current growth rates…! JUST 200 YEARS AGO, THINGS WERE STILL DIFFERENT. Until then, global population was under ONE billion. In fact, it was less than HALF that number (1/2 billion people) throughout more than 99% of our human existence on earth...!!! The planet is overly stressed now…! ……… When it comes to biomass, perhaps we might ask: Can byproducts from energy conversion be utilized to replenish the earth with NATURAL nutrients from the organic fertilizers they might provide for exhausted soils, for agriculture, edible gardening, and other purposes (pastures, lawns, flower gardens, reforestation, new forests, new arable land, etc) and not just as effluents to be dumped carelessly into streams where they may not be needed or even become a nuisance …………. ALSO, therefore, if we all reflect on our actions, inventions, and activities before we engage in them, and if we reduce our birth rates, put our thinking hats on instead of being indifferent, pro-create responsibly rather than mindlessly, then we can make it; our offspring can then have a future, and we can de-stress the planet, our kids, and ourselves …………. WE MUST NOT continue pushing other creatures out of existence, or waste precious materials by misusing and not recycling them while we continue to pollute the waters or the air...! "
ADDITIONALLY: Large numbers of SMALL WINDMILLS or SMALL WATER TURBINES that have INEFFECTIVE or NO PROTECTIVE DEVICES AT ALL could potentially HURT flying or swimming and diving wildlife even MORE than large ones…!?

You got my vote! Because I believe that all ideas big or small can help solve global problems! Hope you will vote also our entry ideas! Our 2 submitted ideas at GE: Ecomagination Challenge (EL-POWER & VENPAR FLAT IRON) are all about saving energy and hopefully saving our planet Earth! Ours is all about new breakthrough devices/apparatus/machines that we have innovated and in the process for full development and hopefully in the stage of perfections, once full supports of all who will believe that there’s as such device/apparatus that can save our planet earth in the biggest problems we are facing ‘the ”GLOBAL WARMING”! Our submitted ideas are not just a dream perfect machine, we have already our innovated scientific theories, formulas, and principles that will backed up our intensive research which we have done since 1984!Although does not tally with principles of OHMS Law and not passes the principles of electrolysis still as seen in our link video the output is power/energy!The following are additional ideas being conceptualized brought about by our innovated scientific research and continous explorations in sciences:
• A machine/apparatus that absorb toxic waste/deadly chemicals and can be converted into a product that will helpful to mankind and other livings things?,[this one is great idea and safe for us}
• machine that regulates the flow of air, wind, water and sunlight to produce power and energy?{ no one,human being,can regulate the nature air flow and steady the sunlight,but we can make a machine with regulated and constant output power.}
• machine that could make rains to a country that has no rain for a long time; a machine that can be modified and regulates climate changes ?;
• machine that could sustain food requirements of all forms of life on earth?no more starvations,!
We need your negative comments!It will be our motivating factors so we can refined, explore, modified and developed more our submitted ideas!
We Dreamed this Powered Knowledge Machines! But we don’t only dreams, for many years we explore, continuously sourcing out the knowledges in science that give us the powers to innovate !
We wish that in a year or two! We are we going to welcome a new generation we call “ A POWERIZED FUTURISTIC GENERATIONS! “
