DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRCRAFT IN GROUND-GEN SYSTEMS

ENERGY KITE

In a Ground-Gen AWES [GGAWES), electrical energy is pro-duced on the ground by mechanical work done by traction force, transmitted from the aircraft to the ground system through one or more ropes, which produce the motion of an electrical generator.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRCRAFT IN FLY-GEN SYSTEM In a Fly-Gen AWES [FG-AWES), electrical energy is produced on the aircraft and it is transmitted to the ground via a special rope which carries electrical cables.

SOLAR PV

SOLAR POWER

Solar Photo-voltaic (PV) is a technology that converts sunlight (solar radiation) into direct current electricity by using semiconductors.

When the sun hits the semiconductor within the PV cell, electrons are freed and form an electric current..

SOLAR THERMAL

Solar thermal technologies capture the heat energy from the sun and use it for heating and/or the production of electricity.

We are skeptical about environmentalism, and the assumption that energy consumption does harm to “nature,” therefore humans should reduce consumption. We also question ecomodernism, which denies the fact that “pristine nature” has been greatly altered by humans and technology such as energy industry. Both of these views reinforce the illusory boundary between technology and nature. This boundary is further reflected in the complex and huge infrastructure landscape that supports the energy industry, which is isolated from people and their life. We believe that the “in-between” space should be acknowledged.

The phasing-out of fossil fuel and implementation of renewable energy is gradually becoming a global mandate. This process was not, and is still not, considered to be operating ground for landscape architects. However, since renewable energy consumes more landscape than traditional energy grid, and does so in a more distributed manner, , we believe that landscape architects should play a major role in constructing the next energy landscape so that it can cultivate new relationships between socio-ecological networks and the current infrastructural system.
