Analysis of feasibility on integration of high-rise building and wind power

Abstract

As the advancement of the process of urbanization and the growth of population, the ratio of constructional energy consumption and the total energy consumption has multiplied rapidly in a short periods. At the mean while, the general energy source is limited which could not stand the huge pressure from energy consumption. However, as a kind of clean, green and effective energy, wind power draws more attention from countries than before. These countries began to focus on micro wind and put it into practice when developing large-scale wind power. The utilization of wind power in buildings is a type of micro wind utilization. This paper summarized the conditions of utilization of winds in buildings and the installation form of wind generator in high-rise buildings. The limitation of utilization of wind is its instability. Through the idea of transformation of utilization and shortening its path, we can settle the basic problem of energy loss and storage. The study indicated that wind power generation is technique with the least environmental cost. From the prospect of life cycle, wind power technique only generates Carbon dioxide in constructional phase. As a result, under the condition of sufficient wind resource and reasonable system design, the technique of wind power integration design in buildings should have obvious economic benefits. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
