“Wind-it”. New ideas in energy generation.

This year the magazine of design and architecture Metropolishas spent the last edition of his award "Next Generation" the challenge for the new generation of clean energy production. The young French architects Nicola Delon, Julien Choppin and Raphaël Ménard have won the first prize with his interesting project "Wind-it", which involves inserting vertical axis wind turbines on pylons. The most characteristic problems of wind energy often their remoteness from places of power consumption, and the environmental and landscape impact they have on the environment. With this idea would get a more efficient system to be linked with the power supply transmission line, and in turn the impact minoraría landscape by combining both systems in the same elemento.Inspirados in French rural landscapes viewed from the TGV train where pylons erected countless electric turbines and some thought Why not combine?. In this way they set out to consolidate their initial idea, considering different possibilities for the energy mix. On the one hand could be inserted turbines in existing electrical towers mainly in those that are obsolete or require its replacement. Also be built new models that combine both energies, with three different sizes of vertical axis turbines by location.
