Français EnergyPier COMBINED-CYCLE POWER STATIONS
EnergyPier-type combined-cycle power stations produce clean (green) electricity and generate positive externalities
-
Sun -Thousands of square metres of solar panels generate large amounts of renewable electricity
-
Wind – The supporting structure is designed to create an effect that accelerates the air, turning it into a source of energy, which is harnessed by the AnemoGen™ generators from EnergyPier installed on either side of the supporting pillars.
-
Thermal – Recovery of natural ambient heat and heat generated by photovoltaic panels
Externalities + - The EnergyPier structure offers additional benefits to motorway operators and users:
- Noise reduction
- Reduced winter maintenance
- Protection against heavy rain and gully erosion
- Protection of the road against excessive heating
Significant additional benefits for motorway users and operators: Positive externalities
As well as being a high-output power station, EnergyPier also offers additional benefits for motorway operators and users:
-
The structure, including the protective wall and the canopy, offers the benefit of a significant reduction in noise -
The canopy structure protects the road from snowfall and eliminates the need for winter maintenance, or reduces it significantly depending on the circumstances (salting, mechanical snow clearance) -
The roof protects the road surface from excessive heat and UV rays in summer, whilst significantly extending its lifespan -
The roof surface can be used to collect rainwater -
The supporting structure can be fitted to accommodate cables and other installations -
The facility offers the option of installing emergency power points for e-mobility
