Hệ thống cây dùng năng lượng mặt trời khổng lồ ở Singapore
Các “siêu cây” có cấu trúc kiểu tháp, được làm từ bê tông và thép, có chiều cao lên tới 50 mét. Những siêu cây này sẽ tạo ra năng lượng từ mặt trời. Các hệ thống đặc biệt sẽ biến ánh sáng mặt trời thành năng lượng để thắp sáng. Thân cây được biến thành nơi sinh sống cho các loại thực vật khác.
Những chiếc cây nhân tạo này sẽ được sử dụng để trưng bày các loại cây cối đến từ khắp nơi trên thế giới.
Solar-Powered ‘Supertrees’ Light up Singapore
Eighteen “supertrees” — artificial trees up to 165 feet tall — will be unveiled to the public later this month in a new garden in Singapore.
The mechanical trees contain vertical gardens, generate solar power, collect rainwater and filter air for nearby buildings. They’re covered in over 162,900 tropical plants, including bromeliads, orchids, ferns, and tropical flowering climbers. Eleven of the trees have solar panels, providing energy to the conservatory buildings below. In the daytime, the trees will help provide shade and shelter for garden visitors, and absorb and disperse heat. At night, the solar power from the trees will be used to fill them with light.
Some of the tallest trees are connected by “skywalks,” allowing visitors to walk between them and look at the park below. The park, the new 250-acre Gardens by the Bay, also contains two conservatories holding plants from around the world. One of the conservatories uses plant waste to feed a steam turbine, generating more on-site renewable energy.
The park is part of the country’s plan to transform Singapore into a “city in a garden.” Costing $1 billion to build and designed by Grant Associates, the government hopes that the garden will help bring new visitors.[/QUOTE]

Solar-powered 'supertrees' breathe life into Singapore's urban oasis
By Lauren Said-Moorhouse, for CNN
June 8, 2012 -- Updated 1108 GMT (1908 HKT)
(CNN) -- Singapore's latest development will finally blossom later this month, with an imposing canopy of artificial trees up to 50 meters high towering over a vast urban oasis.
The colossal solar-powered supertrees are found in the Bay South garden, which opens to the public on June 29. It is part of a 250-acre landscaping project -- Gardens by the Bay -- that is an initiative from Singapore's National Parks Board that will see the cultivation of flora and fauna from foreign lands.
The man-made mechanical forest consists of 18 supertrees that act as vertical gardens, generating solar power, acting as air venting ducts for nearby conservatories, and collecting rainwater. To generate electricity, 11 of the supertrees are fitted with solar photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight into energy, which provides lighting and aids water technology within the conservatories below...

Singapore Is Building An Army Of 150-Foot Tall Supertrees
To develop its Marina Bay area, Singapore is building 18 "supertrees" as tall as 164 feet as part of a mulit-million project called Gardens by the Bay. The artificial forest will open to the public on June 29.
The trees will also generate solar power, collect rainwater and cool the buildings in the area. There will even be an aerial walkway between some of the trees to provide citizens and tourists with spectacular views of Singapore's downtown district.

Some of these super trees contain photovoltaic cells which bring in solar energy so the trees can light up at night.
Những siêu cây năng lượng mặt trời được xây dựng tại South Bay, chính thức mở cửa cho công chúng thăm quan vào ngày 29/6. Nó nằm trong dự án khu vườn cảnh rộng của chính phủ Singapore nhằm cải thiện cảnh quan môi trường cũng như thu hút du khách.
