About Solar Skywalks Kev Nquag Ua Kom Muaj Zog Ntawm Ko Taw

Ntiaj teb cov chaw hauv nroog - zoo li Beijing - muaj cov neeg coob nyob rau ntawm cov choj kev uas thawb cov leeg ntshav khiav mus los. Lawv feem ntau tsis txaus ntseeg, txo qis kev pom tag nrho hauv nroog. Cov neeg tsim qauv lub tswv yim ntawm txoj kev taug ko taw txuas ntxiv nrog kev zoo nkauj, lub zog tsim hluav taws xob PV modules thiab hloov mus rau hauv cov chaw hauv nroog txaus nyiam tsis yog muaj kev ruaj khov tab sis tsim kom muaj cov duab puab ntau yam uas dhau los ua qhov muag pom tseeb hauv nroog. E-tsheb lossis E-tsheb tuam them cov chaw nres tsheb hauv qab txoj kev siv ko taw siv lub hnub ci zog ncaj qha rau ntawm qhov chaw.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award Platinum

Solar Skywalks Kev Nquag Ua Kom Muaj Zog Ntawm Ko Taw yog tus yeej ntawm A' Design Award Platinum, ib qho kev lees paub muaj meej mom heev uas muab rau cov qauv tsim zoo kawg nkaus, zoo nkauj thiab ci ntsa iab tiag tiag. Cov neeg yeej Platinum yog cov khoom xav tsis thoob ntawm kev tsim, yog cov pov thawj ntawm qhov kawg ntawm kev txawj tsim ntawm tib neeg, thiab qhia txog kev tshaj lij uas tsis muaj leej twg piv tau thiab kev txawj ntse ntawm cov kws tsim qauv. Cov qauv tsim no xav tias yuav yog cov haujlwm muaj koob npe tshaj plaws uas txiav txim lub caij nyoog txoj kev zoo nkauj, pab rau zej zog txoj kev noj qab haus huv thiab nthuav dav ciam teb ntawm kev kos duab, kev tshawb fawb, kev tsim qauv thiab thev naus laus zis. Solar Skywalks Kev Nquag Ua Kom Muaj Zog Ntawm Ko Taw qhia txog qib zoo tshaj plaws thiab tsis muaj kev xyem xyav ua rau lub ntiaj teb zoo dua nrog nws cov yam ntxwv muaj txiaj ntsig thiab muaj nqi. Solar Skywalks Kev Nquag Ua Kom Muaj Zog Ntawm Ko Taw yog ib qho haujlwm uas yeej A' Design Award Platinum, uas txhawb kev xav, tshoov siab, ua rau zoo siab thiab ua rau muaj kev xyiv fab loj.

Unique Properties: This sustainable concept has been created for existing footbridges in Beijing but it is just as well to apply for any new structures in any site. With only one rectangular shape of PV panel, over 80 specific designs have been created for different urban areas of the city. The electricity harvested from the sun can be used on site for lighting, elevators or escalators. E-car and e-bike charging stations under the foot bridges utilize the locally generated solar energy directly on site.
Dimensions & Packaging: A design of a medium size footbridge with a medium density of panels - like "The Arches" - with its 10 rectangular portals can generate about 18,000 KWh of electricity per year. Since the electricity mix in China is very carbon-intensive, 0.7 kg CO2 per KWh of PV electricity could be saved, a total of 12,600 kg CO2.

If the electricity generated in this example would be used to operate charging stations for electric scooters (in China these are rather slow, small scooters that need about 1 kWh for 100 m), the amount of electricity generated would be sufficient for a total distance of 1,800,000 km!

Production Technology: The applied thin-film CIGS photovoltaic modules produce electricity under the most unfavorable weather and site conditions. They are lightweight and very resilient. Retrievable, prefabricated mounting systems are aesthetic and easy to assembly
Inspiration: World's metropolises have a large number of pedestrian bridges traversing busy traffic arteries. They are often unattractive, downgrading the overall urban impression. Our idea of cladding the pedestrian bridges with aesthetic, power generating photovoltaic modules and transforming them into attractive city spots is not only sustainable , but creates a sculptural diversity that becomes an eye-catcher in the cityscape.
Project Duration: The project has been developed in Germany since 2018.
Two mockups built in Shanghai and Munich demonstrate the feasibility of the system, which enables the construction of effective and reliable structures even for different climate zones.
Operation Flow: The eye-catching structures attract the attention of passers-by and this is to be used to educate about sustainability. The idea of using them as sources of informal education for sustainability is crucial to the project.

The implemented display measures will provide passing persons with information about various aspects of the use of solar energy and thus lead to a better understanding and acceptance of solar solutions. This will be beneficial to society and to the environment.
