Environmentally
Friendly Hybrid Power Generation System
World Trade Center Building, Inc. This is a triple generation system that uses waste
heat and steam in multiple stages, to achieve high overall efficiency.
A photovoltaic power generation system is installed on the roof of
an annex to the World Trade Center Building in Japan, for energy conservation
and CO2 reduction,
as well as for power generation. On an observation platform of the
high-rise building commanding a view of the pyramidal photovoltaic
power generation system right below, a video and panels to introduce
the system are exhibited, to raise awareness of the system among visitors.
This system can be expected as a model case for the introduction of
similar systems in other buildings.
Features of Equipment, System and Facilities
Contributing to reduction of the environmental
load
•
The cogeneration and photovoltaic power generation
system contributes to reducing 2,100 t-CO2
of carbon dioxide per year.
•
The CO2 reduction
by the photovoltaic power generation system corresponds to
the CO2 absorption effect by
an about 12.4 ha forest.
•
The photovoltaic power generation panel intercepts
sunlight, to reduce the thermal load to the building.
