Japan will build the largest wind power plant
Slogan: this plant will absorb warm air, and not generate it.
Wind is an environmentally friendly and theoretically inexhaustible source of energy; unfortunately, its advantages are overlapped by its low efficiency relative to other methods of generating electricity. To get an amount of energy comparable to a coal-burning plant, it takes several square kilometers of windmills.
But here, Japanese developers from ZENA Systems applied the principle of “build up, not breadth”, which is familiar to the country as a whole.
The structure will be a 50-meter high hexagonal tower. The form will allow to catch the wind blowing in any direction and at different heights.
The air flow will be compressed and directed through a tunnel inside the tower down to the ground, where energy will be stored. Thus, outside the station will occupy a minimum of space.
ZENA Systems claim that with this structure they have refuted the Betz Act , which states that the maximum efficiency that a wind power plant can achieve is 59.3%. For energy storage, the company also uses its own methodology, which is briefly described by a ZENA representative as “a solution based on vanadium diluted with distilled water and anode”.
The following picture demonstrates the advantages of a new technology compared to conventional windmills:
The power plant will be built in the town of Kurume, Fukoka .
