: the island facing jeroboam is special, but its though problem solving method is can be extended to other places. Hawaii is also a volcanic island, is currently to jeroboam island activitely.
Spain is because a major hierro island queer projects. At this moment, look, this project is but a pit, or accurate said two pit: one on the top of the mountain, another position slightly low point. In between two pit, have a very long pipe, color and bushes and consistent. In this volcanic island, bushes lush, growing well.
To the end of 2011, when innovative wind power systems after jeroboam horse runs in Spain kang island – the eastern island – will become the world’s first wind energy entirely self-sufficient place, and this is just the first step in the whole plan, then plan would make this small island become one of the world’s most sustainable development of the islands.
This sounds a little too optimistic? We can analyze the local resources. Jeroboam from Spain about 750 island native island desolate matchless kilometres, and volcanic landscape let there is no coal and fossil fuel, freshwater resources extremely lacking. Island population scale 10,000 people, a week long by tanker transport on diesel generator. This is why about 25 years ago, the islanders began to consider using the local rich water and wind resources to into renewable energy. Now, because of global oil resource scarcity, f island disaster let people have to reflect the dangers of nuclear power plant, the local hydroelectric wind power plan a valued.
“At first, this is just a simple power self-support problem.” Island committee chairman Thomas palmer delun said, “we completely dependent on outside aid, the plan may suddenly be stranded, but due to current global energy crisis and climate change, and a lot of things happen, we found this thing has great value.”
On the island is going to build the power station will be a miracle of engineering and design on the pursue simple first. Islands northeast end will build five windmill power , to provide power for water pumping station. When there is wind, wind hair of electricity will lift the pump to 2,300 feet of mountain, and store up; When the wind reduce, locks release, water power. In simple words, jeroboam the island will be combined hydraulic and wind power, no matter how climate to provide energy continuously.
This is expected to power generating 48 million degrees, 6000 tons each year, can save diesel can fully satisfy the local power demand. Currently a power station has started construction, involved in the project of the principals said: “the entire system will closely combined, the concept has been far beyond environmental this view. When combined with auto system power, like galaxies as a landmark collision.”
This system integration is not only these. And the other islands plus deni islands is different, jeroboam and no large-scale development tourism island, but kept the local traditional agriculture. Farmers have also added to the energy systems of an agreement with the plan, in eight years, local agriculture into organic produce, agricultural wastewater into methane and fertilizers, can be recycled.
This is a cultural conservative islands, the island wind power generation did not even the cinema, women no one company can not enter the bar, so exactly is what prompted local so revolutionary change? Should thank geographic location. Island committee chairman said: “we have been isolated, and Spain, alienated from mainland and adding deni islands other islands. Has been isolated from the island there is drought and supply shortage, it makes us more eager to find a solution method.”
