Renewable Energy Projects in Ma Wan <strong>The</strong>me Park<br />
馬 灣 公 園 可 再 生 能 源 基 地<br />
Supported by the Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., our Renewable Energy<br />
Research Group (RERG) from the Department of Building Services Engineering<br />
developed various renewable energy (RE) projects in the Ma Wan <strong>The</strong>me<br />
Park in 2006. Seven different RE projects have been used and demonstrated<br />
to the public in the Park including the following:<br />
Photovoltaic roof of 3kW for power generation<br />
3kW<br />
• a grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system<br />
• a grid-connected wind power generation system<br />
• two hybrid solar-wind lighting systems<br />
• an auto-tracking solar PV system<br />
• a ground-coupled heat pump system for air condition and hot water heating<br />
• a hydro power system and a biomass system<br />
<strong>The</strong> electric energy produced by the solar energy and wind energy systems<br />
are connected to the local utility grid for power supply to the Park, hence<br />
conventional energy consumption can be reduced for cost saving and<br />
environmental protection. All the instant performance data of the main<br />
systems are monitored and displayed by a data collection system for<br />
demonstration and research purposes. Not only can this renewable energy<br />
provide an educational platform of renewable energy applications to visitors,<br />
aiming to build its awareness and environmental protection, but also serve<br />
to provide important on-site research facilities for the RERG. A lot of visitors<br />
have been attracted and<br />
the projects have been<br />
widely published in local<br />
j o u r n a l s , m a g a z i n e s<br />
and newspapers. Our<br />
efforts in the research and<br />
development of renewable<br />
energy applications have<br />
been greatly publicised in<br />
the territory.<br />
