Smart and autonomous energy systems
Combined use of solar, wind and biofuel energy
-
Our team has developed a design of advanced biofuel generators that will become additional and environmentally friendly energy sources for hybrid solar-wind power plants.
The combined use of solar, wind and advanced biofuel power generators will enable:
- to create compact and autonomous hybrid power plants of various capacities;
- to reduce electricity costs and accelerate the return on investment;
- to ensure uninterruptible power supply with low emissions on cloudy and windless days;
- to reduce biofuel consumption and harmful emissions;
- to use waste heat energy removed from the upgraded engine of the advanced generator to produce heat and cold in the process of cogeneration or trigeneration.
Economical sources of mechanical energy for advanced generators will be modernized piston engines running on biofuel and equipped with a new, more efficient mechanism for converting energy into useful work.
Features of eco-design of advanced generators

Eco-design features of advanced cLessDrive generators
and compact and autonomous hybrid power plants:
-
use of upgraded piston engines in advanced generators, which will reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 40% compared to traditional piston engines. -
the use of gaseous and liquid biofuels, which will further reduce emissions of harmful gases. As is known, biofuels are biodegradable and when burned, they form fewer compounds that are hazardous to the environment and human health.
- using micro-grids and machine learning to optimize the power of each energy source, obtain hourly emissions data and improve the profitability of the hybrid power plant.
- Advanced compact biofuel generators will provide additional clean energy not only for solar and wind power plants, but also for hybrid electric vehicles, light boats, aircraft and other vehicles.
They will be more competitive compared to existing analogues, producing autonomous electricity with much lower emissions.
The relevance of compact hybrid power plants
- The global market for solar, wind and distributed energy generation, liquid biofuels and generator sets is projected to reach the following values:
- solar energy - USD 436.36 billion by 2032 with an annual growth rate of 6%.
- wind energy - USD 174.67 billion by 2031 with an annual growth rate of 9%.
- distributed energy generation - USD 916.16 billion by 2032 with an annual growth rate of 13.3% in the forecast period from 2024 to 2032.
- biofuels - USD 316.71 billion by 2032 with an annual growth rate of 8,9%.
- generator sets - USD 34.36 billion by 2030 with an annual growth rate of 5.5%.
The introduction of compact and autonomous hybrid power plants as sources of distributed, decentralized energy will ensure:- reducing the burden on nature, the economy and energy systems, as well as the impact of natural and other disasters on the stability of energy supply;
- reducing the costs of launching, operating and storing distributed energy;
- elimination of losses during transmission of electricity to consumers, which can reach 15%, and the costs of creating transmission networks;
- facilitating liberation from oil bondage, the transition to a waste-free economy and increasing energy independence.
Compact power plants equipped with biofuel generators will increase local community participation in the development of distributed energy and promote energy conservation.
Their implementation will be a good solution for the local economy, agriculture and the development of the biofuel industry.
Improvement of new and used piston engines
- The internal combustion engine market is expected to reach USD 361.49 billion by 2029, with an annual growth rate of 6.30%.
Today, 2 billion wasteful piston engines do the bulk of mechanical work, including autonomous energy generating.
Piston engine manufacturers will be able to improve their products and strengthen their market position thanks to low-cost upgrades developed by our team, which will allow:- to use up to 80% of the main parts from the donor engine;
- to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 40% and improve dynamic performance compared to non-upgraded analogues;
- modernize new and used, mobile and stationary piston engines, which will allow them to fit into global energy, environmental and waste-free trends.
Innovative modernization does not violate the theoretical foundations and principles of engine operation and will preserve both traditional types of fuel (gasoline, gas, diesel fuel) and alternative types - biofuels, as well as promising ones - synthetic fuels, hydrogen.
Recipients of our engineering solutions

Huge amounts of CO2 emissions come from the 2 billion piston engines that do most of the mechanical work in all forms of transport, industry, energy and agriculture.
At one time, piston engines helped free people from the hardest manual labor, made it possible to create airplanes and other types of transport, and also revolutionized the production of electricity.
They still do most of the mechanical work on the planet, but excessive pollution leaves piston engine manufacturers with a choice between increasing efficiency or cutting production.
But piston engines have no analogues in terms of operational autonomy, so a radical increase in their efficiency will allow them to become environmentally friendly sources of mechanical energy for autonomous generators for various purposes and help combat global warming.
As is known, biofuels can replace a significant part of the total demand for fuel without compromising food production and significantly free us from oil dependence.
Biofuels are low-toxic, produced from natural, renewable raw materials and, when burned, form fewer compounds that are hazardous to the environment and human health.
Its advantages include virtually waste-free use of resources, the ability to produce energy from cost-effective feedstocks in a variety of climates, and the ability to sequester carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, thereby helping to reduce atmospheric concentrations.
Our team is focused on increasing the use of biofuels in the energy industry, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Piston engine upgrade
- Low-cost modernization of piston engines will help engine manufacturers significantly improve the performance of their products, maintain their market position and join the global environmental and energy trend.
When modernizing, up to 80% of the main engine parts are used. Modernization will make it possible to increase the energy efficiency of manufactured or operated engines in the shortest possible time.
Experts know that simplified empirical dependencies used in engine building are the basis of the modern theory of kinematics and engine dynamics.
However, these dependencies do not allow their use for theoretical substantiation of the effectiveness of alternative kinematic schemes.
The proposed patented cLessDrive power take-off mechanism, thanks to a modified kinematic scheme, converts thermal energy into useful work much more efficiently.
Thanks to our team, the new power take-off mechanism received theoretical justification and confirmation of its high efficiency on a manufactured prototype.
At the request of interested companies, we are ready to provide a brief report on the conducted research.
The essence of engine modernization
- The essence of the ecological modernization of engines is the replacement of the crank mechanism with a patented cLessDrive power take-off mechanism.
The new mechanism converts the energy of the translational movement of the pistons into rotation of the output shaft much more economically, thanks to a more rational use of pressure in the cylinder at the stage of intensive heat supply, at the beginning of the piston stroke.
According to the study, this will allow the updated engine to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 40%.
Since the new mechanism does not violate the theoretical foundations and principles of operation of any piston engines, it will allow saving on both traditional types of fuel (gasoline, gas, diesel fuel), and alternative ones — biofuels, as well as promising types of fuel — synthetic fuel, hydrogen.
The new power take-off mechanism consists of simple standardized parts, is easily adaptable to mass production and will reduce the weight and dimensions of the engine.
Piston engine manufacturers can quickly and inexpensively upgrade and test their first resource-saving engine. We will help them develop the necessary part of the design documentation for this process.
Current process
-
Our team conducted computational studies and performance evaluation of the new patented power take-off mechanism using advanced CAD and CAE tools, manufactured and tested a model of the mechanism, and determined the layout of the updated piston engine.
We also develop machine learning algorithms to optimize the performance of modernized power units using renewable fuels.
When developing advanced generators, our team is guided by the principles of eco-design - incorporating environmental considerations into the design process by balancing environmental and economic requirements.
The methods we have developed allow us to determine the design, energy and economic indicators of resource-saving engines, which are necessary for assessing their efficiency as part of the drive of machines for various purposes: mobile and stationary, operating on land, in the air and on water.
The participation of investors and business partners in our project will allow them to be among the beneficiaries of the implemented innovations, and not among the recipients of already developed technologies.

- income from licensing agreements for the right to manufacture and sell products containing patented solutions.
We invite like-minded people to cooperate
Carbon dioxide emissions are at their highest levels ever and global electricity demand has increased by 90% since 2000.
The changes we are seeing in weather patterns around the world, including as a result of human activity, and what this means for the future are terrifying.
The overall share of pollution from the energy sector is steadily increasing, despite the growing share of renewable energy sources.
Therefore, today it is extremely important to implement sustainable and environmentally friendly projects for the development of distributed generation of renewable energy for power engineering and transport.
We will have to abandon the careless consumption of energy that does not take into account its production and is expensive, and come to the realization that, as in the natural world, energy must be produced in a distributed manner and used sparingly.
Our project of distributed renewable energy generation will help nature and save our resources and energy!
