Wind Energy Innovative Application on Shanghai Tower and Analytical Contrast with Other Buildings

Abstract

In this paper, wind energy as well as its innovative technology (wind turbine) is introduced. Original source, application, categories, principles, products etc are presented as the background introduction. As the typical building that integrates wind turbines on its structure, Shanghai Tower is regarded as the reference group in this research. Bahrain World Center, Strata Tower and Pearl River Tower are three sustainable buildings that utilize wind turbine technology as well, which are comparative groups. The aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of wind energy technology and to differentiate between wind turbines on different buildings according to some dimensions such as efficiency, cost and availability. Moreover, the future prospects and probable improvements on the wind turbines will also be discussed in this paper.
