FREEN OÜ

Have you ever wondered what the most common source of green energy is?   You'll find out in today's post!    Here's how it breaks down:    🔌 Solar energy leads with 35% of usage, reflecting its rapid adoption and technological advances.   🔌 Hydropower follows at 30%, leveraging natural water sources but limited by location.   🔌 WIND TURBINES, making up 20%, are growing as a flexible option with wide geographic applicability.   🔌 Bioenergy, at 15%, remains an important contributor, especially in regions with ample biomass resources.      As technology and accessibility improve, we can expect these proportions to evolve, bringing us closer to a fully renewable future.    Follow us on Linkedin where we post about wind energy, wind turbines and our company Freen.    #SmallWindTurbines #SmallWindPower #WindEnergy 

At FREEN company, we are proud to have a diverse team, including 15 workers from Ukraine. They are an important part of our factory, and we want to support them in every way we can. To help them feel more at home in Estonia, we offer free Estonian language courses. The classes take place right at our workplace after hours, making it easy for our team to join. The program will run for a full year, giving everyone the chance to learn at their own pace. At FREEN, we believe in creating opportunities for everyone! We extend our heartfelt thanks to Eesti Töötukassa and G-Global Development Community MTÜ for their support in organizing Estonian language courses for our employees.

Modern wind energy actively uses different types of wind generators, among which vertical-axis structures occupy a special place. Two well-known types of such devices are the Darrieus and Savonius wind generators. They differ in the principle of operation, design and suitable operating conditions.    DARRIEUS rotor  This type of generator was invented by French aircraft designer Georges Darrieus almost 100 years ago. Its design includes blades arranged around a vertical axis, which are driven by aerodynamic effect. The blades move perpendicular to the wind flow, allowing high wind speeds to be used to generate power.    Advantages:  High efficiency: The Darrieus rotor converts wind energy efficiently, especially at medium to high wind speeds.  Compact: Due to the vertical axis of rotation, these devices take up less space, making them suitable for installation in confined spaces.  Wind direction independence: No need for orientation with respect to wind direction simplifies operation.  Disadvantages:  Low initial torque: The Darrieus rotor requires extra force to start, especially in low winds.  Difficulties with self-starting: At low wind speeds, the generator may not start without external influence.  Applications: The Darrieus rotor is used in confined spaces such as urban areas or rooftops. It is ideal for locations with medium to high wind speeds.    SAVONIUS rotor  This design was proposed by Finnish engineer Sigurd Savonius in the 1920s. The generator consists of semicircular blades resembling a drum and uses the force of wind resistance to rotate. Savonius wind generators are most efficient at low wind speeds and are easy to build, making them popular for off-grid energy systems.  Advantages:  High initial torque: The Savonius rotor starts more easily due to strong wind resistance.  Simple design: These units have a simple and robust design, which reduces manufacturing costs.  Low manufacturing costs: Compared to other types of wind turbines, Savonius rotors are cheaper to manufacture.  Disadvantages:  Low efficiency: The Savonius rotor has lower efficiency when utilizing wind energy, which limits its output.  Low power generation potential: Due to the simplicity of design and aerodynamics, these generators may not provide sufficient power for large power systems.  Applications: The Savonius rotor is ideal for low wind speed conditions where reliability and low noise are important. It is also used in small stand-alone systems where economy and stability are important.    In 2016, #Freen company obtained a patent for the creation of #Darrieus vertical-axis turbines and started manufacturing them in Estonia from 2022. This confirms the growing interest in Darrieus technology, which is increasingly being used in modern wind generation systems, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for various energy needs.    #WindEnergy  #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #WindPower #SmallWindTurbine #WindTurbine #Freen  

🌍 Global Government Incentives Driving Small Wind Power Development 🌬️ Government incentives play a key role in accelerating the adoption of SMALL WIND POWER, providing financial support that makes these solutions more economically viable. Across the globe, countries implement diverse mechanisms like tax breaks, grants, and subsidies to encourage renewable energy initiatives.  Here's a snapshot of how nations are fostering small wind energy: UNITED STATES Federal tax credits: Partial refunds on installation costs for wind energy investors Grants & funding: U.S. Department of Energy programs supporting small energy projects EUROPEAN UNION EU financial instruments: Funding through the European Regional Development Fund and Horizon 2020 National schemes: Member states like Germany and Spain offer tailored subsidies and tax incentives CHINA Government funding: Subsidies for wind farm construction and R&D in wind energy Local project support: Resources for regional wind energy initiatives INDIA Tax incentives: Accelerated depreciation schemes for wind energy projects Installation subsidies: Support for rural and remote small wind installations AUSTRALIA Grants & funding: Financial support for renewable energy, including small wind power Tax incentives: Benefits for individual and commercial wind turbine installations JAPAN Research funding: Significant investments in wind energy R&D Installation support: Subsidies and tax breaks for regions affected by natural disasters BRAZIL Credit lines: Favorable financing for renewable energy, including small wind projects Government programs: Initiatives to advance renewable energy development Each country’s approach reflects its unique priorities and resources.  However, the success of these incentives depends on factors like political will, economic stability, and WIND RESOURCE POTENTIAL. 🌟 #RenewableEnergy #SmallWindPower #CleanEnergy #WindEnergy #Freen #SmallWindTurbines

We’re excited to share that #Freen has finished a project for our client in France!  Our team built a conveyor line using advanced tools like laser cutting machines, sheet metal equipment, welding, and turning and milling machines. Yesterday we shipped the final truck—the 7th in the series. A huge thanks to our team for their work and to our client for trusting us!  On to the next challenge! #Freen #manufacturing #conveyorline #lasercutting #metalwork

Hello, We are looking for a PLANNING ENGINEER. If it's not too much trouble, share it in your feed. Thanks.

🌟 Inspiring the Next Generation 🌟 At #Freen, we believe in fostering connections not just with our employees but also with their families. One of our team members, Dmitri Stefani, had a very special opportunity to share his workplace with some young, curious visitors—his child's kindergarten group! In celebration of Father’s Day, the children visited our #Freen factory. They had an exciting tour, watching how we produce our innovative SMALL WIND TURBINES.  As a highlight, each child received a special keepsake: medallions made on our advanced #SALVAGNINI L3-30 laser machine. We’re grateful to Dmitri Stefani and Oleksandr Teisar for guiding the tour and showing the children the incredible things we do at #Freen.  These moments not only inspire the younger generation but also remind us of the impact our work has on their future. 💚🌍 #Freen #WindEnergy #NextGeneration #SmallWindTurbines
