Sweden plans to build a "wig" "striped skyscraper"

From the appearance, this ecological building is like wearing a huge wig . In fact, this " hair " is a slender fiber that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy when blown by the wind. In the future, it will become an urban wind power plant. By using piezoelectric technology, these fibers generate electricity through a slight fluctuation of wind flow, making full use of the wind resources of high-rise buildings. At night these fibers glow, allowing the entire building to change color.

The building looks like wearing a "wig"

The design of this skyscraper is different, but experts point out that it will become the new darling of high-rise building design in the future, not only landscape, but also an environmentally friendly building that can generate electricity and even emit light at night.

What is unique about the design of this building, and how does it generate electricity through wind? In fact, the “hair” of this building makes full use of the wind resources of tall buildings. The higher the wind, the greater the wind, and the kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy when the wind blows.

As the name suggests, this building, also known as the "straw skyscraper", will be built in the heart of the city.

Future will be a city wind power plant

The design firm pointed out that straw skyscrapers will become urban wind power plants in the future. Through the use of piezoelectric technology, a new type of wind power station is formed to explore the enormous potential of the building to generate energy.

The continuous fluttering straw forms a wavy landscape from the exterior, allowing the static skyscrapers to suddenly become vivid and even the entire building to “breathe”. The building with a straw structure flutters in the wind, changing its appearance, allowing the entire building to change color. In the future, this strange architectural covering can even become a tourist attraction.

Wind power generation is an important green technology. As a clean and renewable energy source, wind energy is receiving more and more attention from all countries in the world. The global wind energy is about 2.74×109 MW, and the available wind energy is 2×107 MW, which is 10 times larger than the total amount of water energy that can be developed and utilized on the earth. Wind energy is currently the most promising new energy source for development and utilization, and it is inexhaustible.

Wind energy was used by people a long time ago, such as pumping water, grinding surfaces, etc. Now, people are interested in how to use the wind to generate electricity.

With the shortage of energy and the increase of environmental pollution, wind energy has been highly valued as a renewable and clean energy source, and wind power has been rapidly developed.

It is understood that at present, large-scale wind farms and small wind farms coexist in China, and small-scale wind power generation systems are gradually developing in the buildings of developed cities.

Integrated wind power construction will become mainstream

Wind power generation is becoming more and more widely used in buildings. It is understood that the buildings in the city are dense and the wind energy effect is poor. Therefore, the application of small wind farms in buildings is between high-rise buildings in the city and the roof of buildings.

The wind is the air flow. Wind power relies on gas flow to propel turbine blades, which convert the airflow into electrical energy.

Scientists have found that there is a strong airflow between tall buildings, and if they are equipped with turbine generators and wind power equipment, they can also emit electricity. In order to capture more wind energy, the two buildings can be built into an open "bell" shape. The Bahrain World Trade Center has adopted this type of wind power generation, which is the first building of its kind in the world to use wind energy as a source of electricity.

With the further increase in measures for energy conservation, emission reduction and eco-environmental protection, the construction of wind power generation has been increasingly valued by the whole world. So far, China has always maintained certain technological advantages in this field.

Mr. Zhao from the Institute of Smart Grid, Zhejiang University believes that the combination of wind power and construction is a new thing. It is at the stage of exploration. While developing the integration of wind power buildings, it must also consider the requirements of wind power equipment, wind resources, and noise pollution. Factors such as safety hazards and coordination with buildings. With the intensification of energy shortages and the sharp deterioration of environmental pollution, it is of great significance to vigorously develop the wind power industry, especially the integration of wind power buildings. With the advancement of wind power technology, wind power building integration will become the mainstream of energy-saving construction in the future.
