Report

by Tommy Chan Tsz Ki

A technical visit to Occasion Renewable Resources Company Limited (ORRC) on 26th January 2019 was jointly organized by YMC and Continuing Professional Development Committee.

ORRC is a Hong Kong based company which focuses on the development and application of renewable resources, especially the Wind-Solar Power Unit. The participants were able to visit ORRC’s workshop in Lau Fau Shan, which is also a test field for the Wind-Solar Power Unit.

The group was welcomed by the CEO and founder of the company, Mr. Gomain Lai. He shared us with the details and benefits of the Wind-Solar Power Unit adopted with revolutionary design. The wind-solar power unit adopts shaftless inner rotor design with a tower structure which differentiate it from traditional wind power generator. It is especially suitable for operation under an environment with low wind speed of 0.22m/s which covers 80% of land and coastal areas of the world. With a specially designed deflector, it would also achieve 35-44% of wind utilization rate and Capacity of 3kWh/day. Furthermore, the energy efficiency could also be increased by integrating solar power panel on the wind power unit at the same time.

With a fruitful discussion in Q&A session, participants also learn more about the applications of such generator. For example, the power generation efficiency will be maximized by formulating a decentralized wind-solar power network. These Independent Micro Grid could reduce the cost of setting up electric cabin by generating and consuming electricity on the spot and achieve high efficiency compared to a single unit. The products can be applied on various aspects including base stations, IOT network, lighting and border surveillance system, and remote charging stations.

The event ended with a souvenir presentation to the speaker from Mr. Thomas Lam, the Delegation Manager of the YMC Overseas Delegation 2019. On behalf of the HKIE-YMC and HKIE-CPDC, we would like to express our gratitude to ORRC for supporting and hosting the guided tour to their workshop in Lau Fau Shan. The participants gained a better understanding of latest innovations on renewable energy and also how start-up eco system works in Hong Kong.
