Title Energy Rollercoaster Client Do / Europa Park Description Let's connect the concept of fun to the concept of usefulness and ecology! One 1.8 MW wind turbine at a reasonable site would produce over 4,7 million units of electricity each year, enough to meet the annual needs of over 1,000 households, or to run a computer for over 1,620 years. Europa-Park, Germany's largest theme park, strives for a sparing use of resources. Its own hydroelectric power station produces approximately 1 million kWh of electricity per year, more than 8 percent of Europa-Park's annual electric power consumption, according to park spokesperson Esther Wawrin. Therefore, if 1 million kWh represents 8% of a whole amusement park's electric power consumption for a year, its whole power consumption would be 12.5 million kWh per year. Considering the fact that a single 1.8MW power turbine produces around 4.7 million units of electricity per year (1 unit = 1KWH), three 1.8 MW turbines would efficiently run an amusement park. The daily power consumption of a big rollercoaster is usually calculated by it's KVA. A big modern rollercoasters consumes around 300 KVA. The equivalent in KILOWATTS is 240. The formula for estimating the energy consumption of any device goes as follows(wattage X Hours used per day ÷ 1000) (240 000W) X (11 hours) ÷ 1000= 2640 KWH per day. The daily KWH generation of a 1.8MW Windmill is around 5370 KWH. Therefore, one windmill could support two big rollorcoasters in electricity... This perticular Rollercoaster proposal by Tjep. can supply itself, a complete theme park, and probably several thousands of households with energy. Concept Tjep.
