The Netherlands develops "Solar Road" to help the National People's Wallet

Most of Taiwan's electricity comes from thermal power generation. This kind of power generation depends on the fuel that will be exhausted. The air pollution caused by fuel is also a place that many people worry about. This kind of trouble is actually shared by the whole world. They are all focused on finding a clean and sustainable way of generating electricity, in which solar energy is a very important development direction. According to Al Jazeera, at the end of 2014, a group of Dutch engineers said that they applied solar technology to the road and set a name. The invention of Solar Road (Solaroad) is not only successful in research and development, but also R&D personnel hope that they can further promote the design to the whole country and even the world.

Singles use electricity all year long

The application of solar panels used to be on the roof of households or discharged on the turf. At the end of 2014, the Dutch government joined the engineers of private technology companies and scholars with energy-saving backgrounds to invest in solar energy research. Applied to new areas: roads, experimental locations They chose the town of Krommenie not far from Amsterdam.

It was found that the 70-meter "solar road" they built at Cromony was not only a success. The "solar road" proved that the electricity it collected could be extended to other life levels. For example, the "solar road" was in the first half. The power generated in the year exceeds 3,000 kWh (kwh). In other words, these quantities of electricity can support a single person's household electricity throughout the year.

StendeWit, a spokesperson for the program, said: "If we convert solar power into annual electricity production, then we expect solar panels to produce 70 kilowatt-hours per year (kwh) per square meter. Electricity."

In the film, you can see the picture of the cyclist passing through the flat single lane. The 70-meter-long solar bicycle road will be close to the mystery. Later in the film, the R&D staff also used solar energy to make the LED lights shine at night. In addition to increasing the safety of the bicycle family, Van Gogh's paintings were used as the inspiration for the LED lights, which also added a beautiful scene for the night.

Five years of high blood pressure influence design

The solar road design, which took five years to succeed, is to sandwich a large number of low-cost solar panels between glass, silicone and cement. The R&D team mentioned in the 2014 report that they designed the solar pavement. It can take a fire truck with a load of 12 tons. In fact, in the first half of the year, the designers focused on the development of surface coatings because they found that the temperature was high and low, which would separate the solar panels from the other interlayers.

After some hard work, the research team designed a smooth glass surface that maximized the collection of solar energy. On the other hand, in order to ensure the safety of the knights, the researchers also added a frictional design. Today, there are already 150,000 list car riders passing this 70-meter solar road.

Smart, energy-saving, smart

In addition to the pavement design, the solar road also takes the “smart wind” because each panel has instrument control to maximize the power output of the solar energy. In addition, when there is a problem with the solar panel, such as sand or dust In the event of a crack, the computer will turn off the damaged part and the other panels will continue to operate.

Promote the global green energy future

Next, the R&D team will promote the design to other regions, and they have now obtained the cooperation agreement of California.

Spokesman DeWitt said that through the solar road setting, the cost of all road equipment can be reduced, which is undoubtedly the best source of power for the Netherlands with 140,000 kilometers of roads. In the future, if other countries also install solar roads, the power generation methods of various countries will be affected, which will change the electricity consumption landscape of people around the world.
