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.
