Portable Power Center wind turbine fits into a shipping container

In an average wind speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the PPC is said to produce 12 kW of power
The PPC adjusts itself to best capture the wind, rotating 360 degrees in order to do so
The PPC can fit into a standard shipping container
Each of the four PPC turbine blades are 21 ft (6.5 meters) long, and when operational, the entire height of the machine is around 80 ft (24 meters)
In an average wind speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the PPC is said to produce 12 kW of power
When packed into a shipping container, the PPC can be towed by a standard truck on unimproved road
The PPC only takes a couple of hours to be set up by a single person
The PPC is still in development at the moment, but when it is released, complete units will be available for US$240,000

Article Summary
Wind turbines have the potential to be very useful in providing renewable power to remote communities which have little or no infrastructure. Unfortunately, larger turbines tend to require a relatively involved set-up, with specialist gear needed to construct and maintain the turbines. The Portable Power Center (PPC) by Uprise Energy innovates in this regard by providing a self-contained unit which folds within a shipping container, and can be transported by truck.
