• The maximum number of companieswere found in 2010 which mostlycatered to the business model ofmanufacturing regular on-shoreturbines and other components andthe generic wind farm developers.

• It might be interesting to note thatthe crude prices adjusted for inflationin 2008 was $100 and we have thehighest number of companies foundin 2008/09/10 with an average of40+ companies per year.

• Apart from the oil shock, otherreasons were to do with localmarkets where wind was slowlybeing adopted as a clean technologywhich lead to governments providingsubsidies for mass adoption of windpower. As compared to recent timeswhere most companies being formedin the last 2-3 years have innovativebusiness models to encourage theusers.

YoY – Number of Rounds and Total Funding

• The highest funding for the sector wasin 2015 with almost $2.7B invested in36 rounds. It is also interesting to notethat the reason for the high fundinghas been majorly due to a largenumber of high value PE (12) rounds.These investments have been allocatedto those companies who have beenscaling up their business acrossmultiple geographies.

• In terms of number of rounds, 2013hosted the highest due to a spread ofhigh number of investments acrossmulitple rounds, most of whichcovered under Seed rounds (9) andDebt rounds (10)

• In terms of average ticket size per year,we see the highest in 2016 (YTD) at$115M and then in 2015 for $74M and2014 at $50M. Though 2013 saw thehighest number of rounds, since theinvestments were mostly for Seedrounds the average ticket size was ~$38M

SkySails [Bremen, 2001]: SkySails Power is developing wind power systems that can be used to tap into the enormousenergy potential of high-altitude winds on an industrial scale, so-called high-altitude wind energy systems. Theworldwide patented SkySails Power system consists of five main components, a free flying kite with rope, a launchand recovery system, an automated control system, a generator for producing electrical power and a supportplatform. Energy is generated as the wind pulls the rope from a drum that is connected to an electric powergenerator. This is the power phase in which electrical power is produced. The return phase begins once the rope hasbeen extended to its maximum length. The kite is then automatically flown into a position where its pulling force isvery low. This is when the generator acts as a motor and reels in the rope until its extended length is short enough forthe next energy-generation phase to begin. This process consumes only a fraction of the power generated during thepower phase. The residual excess energy is fed into the electrical power grid. The SkySails Power system can also beutilized onshore. Mobile units are also available that can be used as stand-alone solutions to provide electricity and/orfresh water through seawater desalination.

Bahari Energy [Rockville, 2009]: Bahari Energy Wind Tower is a design based on a Persian baadgir, an architecturaldevice used to create natural ventilation in buildings. Shaped like arectangular tower, the Wind Tower “catches” windthrough a four-sided openingat the top, redirecting it down into the structure. Once the wind is inside the structure,the tower funnels it through special nozzles that accelerate the wind speed. The nozzles lead to drum turbines housedat the bottom half of the tower that convert the wind’s kinetic energy into usable energy in the same way that awater wheel functions. The company claims that it delivers a patented, urban-designed Wind Tower technology whichmakes wind energy accessible, efficient, and cost-competitive. that generates up to ten times as much output as ahelix-style turbine with the same structural dimensions – at lower cost.

TwingTec [Dubendorf, 2013]: TwingTec is an airborne wind energy system using a small sized, tethered propellerdriven flight system. Since it does not require a tower or foundation, more than 90% of the material of a conventionalwind turbine can be saved. A unique launching and landing solution using on-board propulsion has beendemonstrated that enables a compact and mobile system to be realized. When the wind picks up, the 30 m2 Twing(short for tethered wing) automatically launches using small propellers integrated into the wing. Mechanical power isgenerated by flying autonomously controlled cycles and is transformed into electrical energy using a ground-basedgenerator. The flight includes 2 phases. During the power phase the Twing flies crosswind figures of eight, pulling onthe tethers which spin a drum connected to a generator. Having reached a maximum altitude, the Twing isdepowered and reeled in with minimal energy. After this retraction phase a new power phase can start. The unit cansupply up to 100 kW of electrical power.

Pterofin [Seattle, 2012]: Pterofin is a clean technology company developing an innovative energy generation devicesbased on biomimicry. Their current focus is for customers who at the village level faces high costs and inefficiencies inpumping water from deep wells using existing electric pumps or outdated wind turbines. Pterofin’s oscillating wingscapture energy from light winds, even below 5 MPH, to generate electricity or pump water. It is a simplecounterbalance system that synchronizes the wings’ position and speed with a mechanical leverage point on the bodyof the device. The outcome is a coordination of harmonizing the wings pitch angle to a natural frequency of a fluidsspecific velocity. This oscillating motion is low in RPM and high in torque, which allows it to be extremely efficient atpumping water. When a Pterofin encounters high winds, gust, or debris, a rotational control system allows the wing orwings to sweep back into the direction of the current, bringing Pterofin power to a halt and making it act at that pointsimply as a weather vane. This makes it much more aerodynamic and gives it a far more streamline profile than anyturbine on the market.
