Realization of a tunnel on the roadway that covers all the length of the highway and it will be built it with a metallic arc structure (modular and low-visual-impact). The design scheme is an arc blocked in the transversal plan with windbracings in the other plan. The height of the tunnel is sufficient to allow the passage with a van. Also the solar panels are installed on the steel structure (20 panels for each arc). The energy produced is 7.2 GWh/year. Beside it’s planned to install several wind power unit inside the pillars of the viaducts (only in case where the pillar is hollow) to use the upward flow generated by the difference of temperature between the interior and exterior and by a pressure gradient generated by two Venturi pipes installed on the top of the pillars. The total energy is 206 MWh/year considering that each power unit is placed in a tight spot for increasing the velocity of the air until 7 m/s. The only aeolian system provides the energy for the all Solar Park.
