ISolar City yaseMelika yokuqala, iBabcock Ranch

I-Badcok Ranch, e-United States, ngesiqubulo esithi "Akuwona wonke amadolobha alinganayo" ngu idolobha lokuqala ingabe izenza ini inikwa amandla ngamandla elanga ngo-100% womthamo wayo.

Ungaba yi idolobha elanga abaningi bethu abalangazelela lokho?

Ngokwephrojekthi, into ephephe kakhulu ukuthi uma iphumelela, ngaphezu kwalokho IBadcok Ranch ayithembi nje ngokuba idolobha elisebenza ngelanga futhi akukho okunye ngaphandle kwalokho kuzoba yi idolobha eliphelele lokuhamba izintaba noma ukuhamba ngebhayisikili, kusho uKitson & Partners, inkampani ethengisa izindlu ezithengisa lo msebenzi eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeFlorida.

Izizathu zokuzibeka njengedolobha lokuqala elisebenza ngelanga noma ezaziwa nangokuthi idolobha elisimeme azishodi futhi lokho kuyikho Amandla eFlorida nokuKhanya, inkampani ebambisene ne-State of Florida kanye ne-County, izokwakha isitshalo selanga endaweni ocabanga ngayo phakela amakhaya ayi-19.500 XNUMX yedolobha.

Lesi sitshalo sonozungezilanga, esinamandla afinyelela ku-75 MW, alingana no-a ukufakwa kwamapaneli elanga angama-340.000, Bazonikeza amandla adingekayo usuku lonke eBabcock Ranch.

Noma kunjalo, ngesikhathi izinsuku noma ubusuku obunamafu, idolobha kuzodingeka libe nesitokwe igesi yemvelo. Bengivele ngazi ukuthi kunekati elivalelwe lapha!

Ngokusho kwabagqugquzeli, ukusetshenziswa kwegesi yemvelo ngezikhathi ezinamafu nobusuku kuzoba isilinganiso sesikhashana, ngoba banethemba lokuthi iBabcock Ranch izoba uhlobo "lwedolobha" langempela empilweni ukuze bakwazi thanda intuthuko ocwaningweni njengesibonelo ekugcineni kwamandla elanga.

Elinye iphuzu okufanele ulinakekele leli dolobha elisebenza ngemisebe yelanga eliqinisekisa ukunikeza "impilo esimeme ngokuphelele" yi ukusebenza kahle kwamandla yezindlu, ezihlinzeka ngamapaneli wokushisa ashisayo, aqinisekisiwe yiFlorida Green Building Coalitio.

Ukubeka amandla avuselelekayo akusona isisombululo kuphela uma ungazi kamuva ukuthi uwasebenzise kanjani lawo mandla noma esimweni esibi kakhulu ake uyeke "ukubaleka".

Idolobha

Manje, uma sibheka ngaphandle kuya ngaphakathi singasho ukuthi lokhu idolobha elanga linemikhondo yemvelo engaphezu kwamakhilomitha angama-80, kanye no izingadi zomphakathi ngokusebenzisa omakhelwane kanye nemigwaqo eseduze, ngaleyo ndlela kukhuthazwe ukuxhumana phakathi komakhelwane, enye yezinto ezingangabazeki zeBabcock Ranch encwadini yayo eseceleni.

Lokho kusho, ingaphakathi le- idolobha lizogxila kwimodeli yoMsunguli weSikwele ezobhekana nazo zonke izidingo zabahlali kusukela enkabeni yedolobha (edolobheni) ezoba nezindawo zokudlela, amathilomu, izitolo nezindawo zokuzijabulisa kanye ne-Wi-Fi yamahhala.

Ukuthutha

Ukusetshenziswa kwe ibhayisikili yize kuzophinda kube nokuningi amaphuzu okwakha kabusha ukukhangisa izimoto zikagesi.

Ngokuqondene ne izithuthi zomphakathi kufanele uthathe umcabango omncane kumabhayisikobho wezinganekwane zesayensi ngoba azonikwa ugesi, kuze kube manje, kodwa azokwazi ukuzimela ngokuphelele futhi angashayeli.

Izilinganiso

Akuyona yonke into edolobheni elanga inhle, iqembu laseNingizimu Florida Widlands liphikisana nedolobha elizayo ngezizathu ezivikeleka kakhulu kusukela ukwakhiwa kuzothinta izinyoka, amabhere amnyama, amakoloni ama-panther kanye nabagawuli bezinkuni abahlala eduze.

Abagqugquzeli bayazivikela ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi okungenani Ama-295 km2 azogcinwa kanti idolobha lizohlala ngaphansi kuka-73 km2 lapho iSouth Florida Widlands ibala khona nomqondo wokuthi iphrojekthi izoba nomthelela endaweni ezungezile enezikhungo ezintsha zokuthenga nezinye izikhungo, bethi bazokwenza nezindawo eziseduze zibe sengozini ngokufinyelela ekhoneni ama-panther, etholakala ku- Ingozi yokuqothulwa.

Ngenkathi ukugxekwa kwabaphikisi nabagqugquzeli "kunetha" bayazivikela, idolobha liyaqhubeka nokuthuthuka ngokwakhiwa kwalo futhi kungekudala kuzokwazi ukuba ngumakhelwane walo mphakathi inqobo nje uma unesikhwama sakho semali esizungeze ama-300.000 - 750.000 dollars.

Yilapho kungena khona inkinga ukuthi wonke umvikeli, isazi semvelo, isazi semvelo noma omunye umuntu okhathazekile ngemvelo unakho.

Chitha ingxenye ye-ecosystem nazo zonke izinkinga ezibandakanya ukwakhiwa kwedolobha elizinzile ukugcina imvelo.

Ngabe sidela okumbalwa ukuze "sizuze okuhle" noma simile?
