In the port of Bari, a wind pole came into operation, the first of its kind in an Italian port airport
Expect an average production of about 39 kilowatt hours of electric power
March 29, 2022
. The wind pala, with vertical axis generator of 30 kilowatt rated power, has been tested by the Port Authority of the Southern Adriatic Sea and the body believes that, parameterizing wind power on the n.18 quay of the first arm of the Molo Foraneo where the shovel is installed, the average annual production will be about 39 kilowatt-hours of electric power. In the face of such production, a corresponding reduction of approximately 18.6 tonnes per annum of CO2 implanted in the atmosphere is estimated. "The benefits for the environment will be important for the environment," AdSP president Ugo Patroni Griffi said. "We are thinking of bringing the Bari example into all the other ports of our system, perhaps using disused areas," he said.
The peculiarity of the wind plant in use in Bari consists of being at the axis of vertical rotation to the ground (VAWT-Vertical Axis Wind Turbines), a type of wind machinery marked by a reduced amount of movable parts in the structure, appearance that gives it a high resistance to the strong gusts of wind and the possibility of exploiting any direction of the wind without having to continuously orient. Among the advantages, moreover, the less cumbre compared to horizontal-axis turbines, in the face, instead, of greater production in terms of megawatts (one turbine satisfies the average electricity requirement of about 1,000 houses).
