The world's largest Solar Energy Projects

1. Solar-powered Largest Office Building

China in the context of energy saving building the world's largest solar-powered has been introduced in Dezhou, Shangdong Province in northwest China. Office buildings with 75,000 square meters is based on the structure of the sun dial and mark the urgency to find renewable energy to replace fossil fuels that pollute. There was this very complete dibangunan facilities such as space for convention centers, scientific research facilities, conference facilities, training and hotel. Dubbed the altar of the sun and moon, the architecture features the Chinese characters for sun and moon, while the white exterior symbolize clean energy. In addition to large solar arrays, green ideas have been implemented during the construction process. External structure is used only 1% of steel for bird nests and sophisticated roof and wall insulation system reduces energy 30% more than the national energy saving standards.

 

2. Hanging Bridge's Largest Solar-powered

Governor Anna Bligh has launched the opening of the world's largest suspension bridge. Built at a cost of more than $ 63 million, Bridge Kurilpa expected to be used by about 36,500 people every week. The structure 470m long and more than 1050 people were employed in the execution of this project. Across the upper Brisbane River, this bridge uses advanced LED lighting scheme that can be programmed to generate an array of different lighting effects, which will be a feature of the annual celebration of Brisbane Riverfire. To support this energy-efficient lighting system uses 84 solar panels that collectively produce a daily output of about 100KWh and average annual output 38MWh. Solar energy produces 75% of the power supply needed to run the setup mode LED is fully lit, but the lighting configuration 100% of the required energy will come from solar panels. Surplus electricity generated by solar array will be returned to the main network. 

 

3.Largest Solar-powered trimaran

Largest Solar-powered trimaran, named PlanetSolar, PlanetSolar is a multi-hull ships, shipbuilding is financed by the German Immo Stroeher. The ship was built at a shipyard in Kiel, Germany said the world's largest trimaran solar-powered. It will not have a screen, but will rely on solar panels to circumnavigate the globe in 140 days. The, triple-hull 30-meter-long, 15 meter-wide boat will incorporate solar cells into the upper 508 meters square from the main central hull. Solar panels capable of producing 1000 watts of electricity daily. Surplus energy is stored in batteries, allowing the trimaran 58 tons to continue his journey without the sun for three days at a speed of 10 knots or 18 kilometers per hour.

 

4.  Audio System and the Stadium's Largest Solar-powered

Grzebik Design has come out with what is called the loudspeaker system in the world's largest solar-powered. Located at the National Stadium in Kaohsiung Taiwan, audio systems capable of cranking the sound of 105 dB to 40,000 spectators. With costs of $ 5milliar Stadium has a roof features stunning 14,155 square meters equipped with solar panels 8844, which emulates the shape of the river that flows, and produces 1.14 million KWh per year to prevent the release of 660-ton-per-year carbon dioxide atmosphere. The electricity generated is used to power the audio system. Designed by renowned Japanese architect Toyo Ito entire system consists of 60 distributed Voice weatherproof loudspeakers Apogee AE-7SX for coverage of the main seating area, 12 Apogee Sound ALA-5WSX Linear Acoustic Array weatherproof loudspeakers provide coverage of the field, and 2 Apogee Sound AFI AFI -205 and two-Point5 loudspeakers provide audio control room monitoring.

 5. Power Largest Solar-powered

Abengoa, a Spanish engineering company has developed a huge 54 story high tower near Seville in Spain. Said to be the world’s largest solar power tower plant, it consists of more than 1200-mirrored heliostats neighboring a huge tower. Called the ‘PS20 plant’, the installation has heliostats covering 1291 ft2 area each, giving the entire heliostat field a massive area of 155,000 m 2. Each heliostat tracks the sun throughout the day on two axes and concentrates the radiation onto a receiver located on the upper part of the 531 ft tower. After this, the receiver converts 92% of received sunlight into steam that is piped down to a turbine driven generator at the base of the tower. The PS20 plant is capable of generating 20 megawatts (MW) of electricity, enough to supply 10,000 homes.

 6. World’s Largest Solar Project

Taking advantage of the dryness of Sahara Desert, renewable energy giants are prepping up the installation of the world’s largest solar power plant that collectively will generate a whopping 100GW of concentrating solar power. Promoted by Desertec Foundation, the plant will be built by 20 blue chip German companies, who would be gathering together to discuss plans and investments to create the massive project. Unlike other solar power plants, which are usually built on a single location, this massive plant would be scattered throughout politically stable countries in northern Africa. The collective output of the plant would be 80 times larger than a similar plant being planned for the Mojave Desert. The power output would be transported across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe on high-voltage DC lines that will finally supply 15% of the energy demand. The companies involved in the planning state that similar installations have to be constructed to end the gripping energy crisis. The €400bn project would take 10-15 years to go online, but once constructed it will help other countries of the world to aim towards renewable energy generating plants to end their dependence on fossil fuels.
